Hi Dirzi,
From what I have heard, he is an excellent oud maker. He has made ouds for many top musicians. I've seen some pics of ouds that people have
recently purchased from him, and they all look very nice. He uses quality materials too. I think he is a safe online buy.

Nazih Ghadban oud
Hi Dirzi,
Last March I purchased an oud from Nazih Ghadban, and I very pleased with what I got. For the money, and considering I am geographically
disadvantaged from oud makers, I think it was a good buy.
Nazih was a pleasure to do business with. He sent me a few pictures of ouds that were ready, and answered all of my million questions. In the end, I
got exactly what I wanted, a top notch instrument, that was playable, and had good projection. E-mail me, and I'll send you my number, and I can
answer all your questions.
I definitely would reccomend Nazih.

E-mail me, samzayed@hotmail.com, and I'll tell you eveything about this oud, and let you hear it.
I paid far less than other makers were charging. It wasn't cheap, but compared to other brand name ouds, it was a bargain, in my opinion.

I believe he used Canadian cedar on the soundboard
SCRATCH THAT, I checked my records, and he just says "the best kind of cedar" I don't know what that is, but it I am just thrilled
nonetheless 
You can e-mail him at info@oudnazihghadban.com He's willing to answer questions
