Well, my sons and I have to take possession of a condo that didn't sell before completion and I have to sell some stuff to help pay for it. I bought
this oud as an heirloom and so I am reluctant to sell it, but circumstances dictate. It is quite new and really just starting to open up. The
workmanship and wood are amazing and it records with an incredible depth. The bass response seems stronger on recording than live, but it has great
projection and as I said, is really just starting to open up. I will send an MP3 sound sample to anyone interested. (file is too big to post here) For
pictures follow this link: http://mikeouds.com/messageboard/viewthread.php?tid=7493#pid47006
The price: I paid $3500 US plus the custom built case and shipping, so it cost me around $4000 US. I will sell it for $3500 including the case and
shipping.
All the best,
Roy

very nice Oud, YES Nazih is a great luthier. This is a nice Nahat style oud. I bought a 1955 Nahat from him that has the same style inlay on the
back, but different top and bone inlay throughout the neck.
If anyone wants a more affordable Nazih oud, I am selling 2. One is a midsize oud with a beautiful crisp tone, muliwood ribs, french varnish top and
fiberglass fingerboard. Excellent sound and price, the second is a super custom oud made of rosewood ribs. French varnish, dark wood rossetas, very
heavy ,low action instrument of concert level and in brand new condition. One will sell for $1k the other for $2750 with custom ghadban case.
Good luck on this beautiful instrument journeyman

I sent you and email Friday expressing interest in buying this oud from you but didn't get a reply. Then I noticed this morning you had posted this
message here, but I cannot find the oud for sale on eBay anywhere. Perhaps a link to the eBay sale? Or maybe you could reply to my email please?

Thanks! For some reason this listing does not come up under a search for just "oud" even though the word is in the item title. Thanks again.
