Old Oud looking for a new owner


Antique Oud is Turkish/Armenian design,. Original maker unknown.

The face is spruce, the back ribs, neck and pegbox are claro walnut with maple trim. The fingerboard and beard are Indian rosewood and the pegs are ebony. Roses and pickguard are plastic. Finished with tru-oil varnish. String length is 60cm. Body length is 50cm, width is 35.5 cm and depth is 23.3 cm.

The tone is strong and balanced with bright trebles. You can hear the oud being played https://youtu.be/4fJxFb5d_wU

The Oud’s history (high probability based on newspaper article)
In 1933 a Turkish rug merchant moved his family to America. While enroute a daughter was born, Clarise Zadegian. A couple of years after landing and living in New York, Mr. Zadegian took his oud to be repaired. Oud was repaired by Paul Papazian, Bronx, New York, on Oct 12,1935, Papazian put his repair label is inside the oud’s bowl.

Miss Zadegian became a professional dancer, hence the reason there was a newspaper article. After her passing, in the late 1990’s I purchased he estate, which included this oud.

In 2019 I had the oud repaired by Richard Hankey (Dr Oud) He worked on the neck and the pegbox. Dr. Oud’s assessment on request.
