New Oud by Sayed Fathi Amin

I got this Oud from Egypt. It is made by Sayed Fathi Amin (son of Fathi Amin). Here are some pics and a sound file (still a beginner though). Comments are welcome.

Thanks guys. The bowl is made of Rosewood, pegs are from ebony, and the Oud came with Pyramid strings (although I had to add strings for the first course). The Oud is tuned to Mi-La-Re-Sol-Do-Fa.

Anyone knows this Oud maker?

Congratulations, Saddas.

Sayyed Fathi Amin is one of the best luthiers in Egypt. I have one of his ouds.
I do suggest that you order LaBella Strings from:
http://www.khalafoud.com/strings.htm

You will be amazed with the results !

Also, if you replace the nut with a good quality bone one, the sound output will be more than impressive.

You did well. Alf Mabrouk !

Salaam Ya Saddas,

You can get nut blanks from guitar centers.
I get my stuff from Stewart MacDonald.
