That's really great news! Do you have any more information for those of us interested in attending, like address, times, or maybe just a website for
the event?
Thanks!

Thank you Shareen for announcing my attending to the Luthiers Festival in Woodstock. I was thinking about making the announcement by myself
after taking entrance visa to the USA in coming days.
Dear Souheil, I will be coming to the USA with two of my work fellows and bringing some 5-6 ouds with us. One out of six has been
pre-ordered, the others are for exhibition and sale.
Those ouds’ specifications are:
1- Wenge-Padouk, Grand Concert Braced for Arabic sound
2- Dalbergia Spruceana G.C. Turkish Oud
3- Mahogany-Padouk Quality Oud, Turkish
4- Sapele Pommele Double Soundboard designed for Arabic sound
Dear Mavrothis, the link for the event is below:

Hoping to see all oud lovers living in the States, in Woodstock.
