Hi all,
This oud (in Mr. Nazih Ghadaban webpage) is made by Arminah Derbitrossian, I have never heard about him, only Sombat and his son Garabed.

Thank you Hama.
But it seems that nobady knows about Mr. Arminak Der berdrossian.

Hi Abusaid
Arminak is an oud maker of Der Bedrossian family,
his oud production is very rare, he isn't comparable with Garabet(big ouds),his ouds are more better,his style in oud making is quite special and
different also of Sumbat as his ouds are thinner and more perfect, I compare him to Toufik in Nahat's family as the both
hasn't too much ouds.

Master Nazih salamaat
what cedar do you use in your ouds? Lebanese ?
Nazih Ghadban - 9-7-2009 at 08:42 PM
Dear Oudism
I use sometimes Canadian Cedar,Lebanese Cedar is forbidden to use, in the same time I think it isn't suitable for soundboard hence the resine inside
which don't provide and affect the sound of the oud.
