Hey Samir,
This is an excelent looking oud but I think that a sound file would definately help. I would buy it if I had the money but unfortunately, $1700
is abut 80% of my tuition for the semester : )

I do not know how to make a file. But if you go to Nazih Ghadban site he has a MP3 I think.....But his site has been down for a while and with all the
new Viruses he might be down for a while . Computer comunications in the middle east is terrible , It is not like here .many places are still on Dial
Up and pay per minute....

Just got the Oud back from Mr. Viken Najarian . Mr. Najarian replaced the pegs to Ebony Viola Pegs , Excellent Job was done , No slipping pegs , very
eassy to tune ,very smooth to oporate the oud without having to fight it when trying to tune it. Thank you Mr. Viken Najarian what a great Job done
If the Oud wont sell for as much as I paid for it ,It will be another collectors item in my House.But now after Mr. Najarian fixed that Oud I am
starting to like it . I have been playing on it a bit today.My Oud tantana is improving , In a few months with my new Teacher Mr. Wael Kakish i will
take off. Next Monday will be my first lesson. I am looking forward to meet him . He is a great performer who lives in Pasadena . Best Regards ...
Samir , California
PS thank you Dr. Oud for your advice , It cleaned and the Oud looks great and sounds great.

Samir,
This is a fantastic oud. I honestly don't think you should sell it, and I think you are fortunate to own such a fine instrument from a fine oudmaker.
I think Viken was impressed by the oud, and also Wael told me he loved the sound of the oud as well. Keep it my friend! 
Salamat,
Mike

MIKE.....I dont dought what you say ,Maybe the Oud is good ,but i still have a little sour taste from the way I was treated , paying a top price for a
Oud and have to take it for repair..But it is all over , I know where to buy my Ous collection now and I am ,who knows better than you how many Ouds I
am buying.
MIKE.... you know that you are a dear friend and i will listen to you,I was buying another oud from the oudman by Nazih Ghadban but i offered him
$700.00 thats too much in my opinion for a great Ghadban oud ,and i wished him luck to sell it and he did for $950.00..but that oud was advertised so
many times. but i will keep it i had a very bad feelings with this oud you know,since Nazih denid all faults and that made me mad,But i all forgot
about it ,I am very exited to get all mt new ouds from Maurice Shehata, I should get 4 more and after that i will have him custom made one.If Nazih
was fare to me a would have gave him more chaces and ordered ouds from him I had spend over Ten Thousand Dollars in Ouds last month.....And one good
Oud was from Japan....I told Mr. Fushimi from Emazza market in Japan to try and get mt a Nahhat thathe sold it was one of the last thay Nahat made
before he died.It is very nice...Anywaya Oud is a great peace of art for me ,now while i can play a bit and enjoy listening to what i play, it makes
me feel better and hope that i can forgive Nazih for what he done to me or i would say the way he treated me.Look Shehata is far away but he takes
care of his customers no matter what.That is customer service ,Yahea told me a lots of good things about Shahata so did you and i respect him and give
him all the business.Thanks for you advice i will keep the oud and try to like it,Have a great time whewre ever you are .talk to you soon ... Samir

Oud the one to the left. Nazih Ghadbans .the one to the right is Maurice Farouk Shehata The very best and the finesnt oud maker in the world...This is
my opinion . His work is clean and most important thing is when he install Pegs the work and you can call them pegs ... Plus the finish is so
important and i did not forget the sound too ,His ouds has a very good sound deferent that the Lebanese Ouds buy i like that sound. Well Elfan
,elsinima weghina da kola etwalad lamasr weleahl Masr eltayibin. Salamat werabina yeghaliki ya MASR.AMIN.....Samir ,Californa

It surprises me that a 1025 oud by Nazih Ghadban needed to change its original pegs by ones of viola. Who made the change?

Mr. Nazih Ghadban is a very decent person , He has a very good product .My 1025 Oud plays and sounds great . Sometimes little things hapends in
shipping or in production ,But hey we all humans and things ahpenes , But my Oud is so good that I am takinh all my lessons on it .The sound is RANNAN
I would say ,Mike herd it and he said that it is a great Oud so do Mr. Wael Kakish and Mr. Viken Najarian .....My fault that I listened to someone
that I will never mention his name telling me that it was a peace of crap . And it is not.....Thank you Nazih and as soon as you get something
available in production I am ready to buy . All the very best to all members ...Samir,California
