yes well we all know that these are very rare instruments..made in the late 1960's so im sure u can imagine....1968= $2700 without shipping
1965=$3200
that ones more cuz of the restoration made by fat7i ameen and the fact that its made in 1965.
the one in 1968 is a 6 course bashir. i will b posting the video soon.. both are made with saj wood which is i believe indian wood.. the other is a 5
coarse...the labels are still there ..the one that has the face restored has the label with a small indication that fat7e ameen has restored it. both
have moh7md full name and picture with him holding the oud.but in the video its not so clear..but u will see dates and his full name.

i will post the video as soon as i find the cable to d/l it to the pc...well i guess ill hear from those that r intrested soon.
..btw way there is also an italian oud made from mamboo....the back is made like a curve for each stave..i think some one posted some pic like
that...that oud is 108 years old..considered an antique...not so sure how much he wants to let it go for...but im guessing very very high range...for
a collecter or so.

I'm looking forward to the pictures. I may be interested in a purchase when the sound clips and pictures are posted. I bet the sound is gorgeous and
the workmanship has to be world class.
