rex2009 - 11-4-2009 at 12:08 PM

Hi Guys. Please have a look at my new oud made by Master Nazih. The pictures and specification speak for themselves;

-Bowl:Rosewood&small stripe(w/b/w)
-Bowl ornament:Bone/Nacre/Mozaik
-Top:Spruce
-PickGuard:Ebony
-Fingerboard:Ebony
-Bridge:walnut
-Pegs:Ebony(Paris Eye)
-Nut:bone
-Stringlength:60cm

I should receive it this weekend and I can not wait. This is my first dealing with Master Nazih and I found him extremely helpful, most pleasant and very professional. I certainly enjoyed talking to him. More pictures are on the way and I will post them as I get them from Ustaz Nazih.

Beautiful! Mabrouk! I've never heard of anyone having a problem with him as a builder. When I was in the market for a custom Oud, I had emailed him and he was very prompt and courteous.

When it comes time for another oud, I think he will be the builder I go to.

I have personally played this very instrument when I last visited Nazih.. and it was awesome!! I find it very beautiful and elegant, and hope you enjoy it well! And please try to post some recording of yours if can.

Happy OUD !
