Turquoise oud no. 2 for sale
Hello all. This is the latest from my shop. I finished it about 3 weeks ago, and made the main rosette, and installed it a few days ago. This oud
sounds amazing and has some serious Arabic tone. The action is very playable and enjoyable. This oud along with Turquoise was played and approved by
maestro Simon Shaheen. (you can contact him for any questions regarding this instrument)
Video/audio of come.
E-mail me bulerias81 @ gmail.com if you have any questions. Thank you.
-John
