Hi all,

A couple of weeks ago, I have received an awesome oud made by Mr. Magdy Moussa who is a wonderful person. I'm sharing some pictures because this oud is really amazing, the craftsmanship and the materials are first quality. The back is made of rosewood, the soundboard spruce and the fingerboard ebony. The ornaments are made of sadaf and ivory.

I will upload a sound file ASAP.

Bravo Eduardo, sure you are a lucky man!

The rosette of your new oud is the same that the one on the oud I have bought last year......a long and sad story with a "strange seller". I'll soon post a new thread about this, things have to be known in such a case....
You can't have bad surprises with Mr Moussa. I discovered his work here on the forum, after the UK oud session last year.....seems to be amazing!
Bonne chance avec ce joli nouveau oud ........!

I agree Markus. Eduardo is indeed fortunate to have such a great instrument from such an esteemed maker. We are fortunate in having Michael here in Barnsely, Yorkshire too.

This oud will continue to improve with age I'm sure

Play in good health Eduardo
