I'm selling my Nazih Ghadban oud #943 This oud was completed 7-5-2002 Mr. Ghadban makes many styles of ouds, some following classic patterns, other
in the style of a famous maker like the Bashir floating bridge, or the classic Nahat style inlaid ouds. But he also has a very unique and original
series of ouds which are his true creations. This is one of them. I have trully enjoyed playing this oud over the years. It's an easy to play oud,
very responsive with a nice clean tone, high resonance, crisp lead sound, but also very warm tone (when played closer to the sound hole). The body is
made by about 5 different types of wood that give it a beautiful look, but I feel give it it's unique tonal characteristics. The top is very nicely
finished with french varnish, and some inlay work and open sound holes. Including the Baalbek columns in the pickguard. It has a fiberglass
fingerboard which makes the playing very easy and it's full size t the main sound hole. Will need a new set of strings, but it's ready to play. I am
forced to sell most of my instruments at this point otherwise I would keep it. I am asking $900 for a quick sell. For this instrument it's a real
deal!
I share a form fitted fiberglass case between this and another oud depending which I'm playing most at the moment. If you need a case I'll add it for
$65. It's a sturdy travel ready case, that hugs the Oud perfectly. Less bulky than the traditional coffin style cases.

More pics

I'm attaching more pics, showing the oud without strings, and showing the details of the fingerboard finish as requested. These pics also show the
details of the sound hole inlays, and the pickguard better. I have a 2 small sound samples recorded on my computer with a USB mic, but at least gives
you an idea of the sound, and show the clear sound and intonation the instrument has. I tried playing wide across the fingerboard past
the neck / body joint to show the nice playing characteristics of the full size fingerboard. I'm leaving on a trip in about a week and I'm ready to
take and consider serious offers. So let's talk
