Hello fellow oud addicts. I wanted to offer this oud on this forum first. For sale is a a pristine 1992 Merjan. This oud and his work speaks for
itself. This oud has no cracks, no buzzing, even tone, and gorgeous woods, including the maple inlay for the high register he was known for. A natural
sounding 1/4 inch pickup and hard case as well. Recent prices for Merjans have been from 3-6000 dollars. This oud is offered at 4000 dollars plus
shipping. It would be shipped UPS air service, cardboard box within a cardboard box. John worked and lived not far from me. He passed away a few years
ago, and given the adventure of getting an oud made when he was with us, this is a rare commodity indeed. I welcome questions. Thank you for your
attention.

Hi Armen
I can't afford this so good luck to anyone who gets it, just to say that it has a great sound, very passionate, soulful, and 'Armenian' and that is as
much the oud as the playing.
