Sukar Oud 2014

Hello all :bounce:

I did list this oud here before, then decided to withdraw, and now I’m selling it again!!

It is Sukar Oud (model 15, although the model number on the label is left blank!) .. It’s made in 2014 and I bought it directly from Ibrahim Sukar ..

The Oud is in good condition and has excellent sound .. It is fitted with 12 Aquila strings .. The back is made of alternating types of wood (not sure what they are called!) but it has “orangy” appearance .. It has low action which is easy to play .. String length 60 cm.

Please see YouTube video, the real sound is much warmer and certainly better than what’s in the video which I took from my phone (apologies in advance about my poor playing!) ..

The Oud is listed on other websites therefore, I might withdraw it should it be sold elsewhere ..

It comes with its original leather bag and a plastic plectrum ..

Any trials are very welcome .. I am based in East Yorkshire, UK.

I prefer local pickup but can post for a fee (please ask) ..

I am asking for £450 ...

The reason for sale is: I bought a beast from Sabsaby!!

Thank you for looking! :roll eyes:

This is one of the nicer Sukar ouds I've seen. I would hold onto it if I were you, especially as the Sabsaby is a floating bridge—different instrument entirely.

Thanks Brian .. I see what you mean and to be honest this Sukar Oud has been perfect for me so far, in terms of the sound and easy playability. I only went for Sabsaby's because the "child" inside me just could not resist buying the toy despite the high cost, which is the main reason for sale, so it can help me recover financially ..

I will see what happens .. I won't be so cross if it does not sell though ..
