This one had the makings of the most beautiful oud (at least to me). Always looking forward to seeing your masterpieces.

Mood: John Vergara Luthier Lord of the Strings instrument making and repair

Yeah, I also looking forward to seeing it in it's completion. Moving is a B*tch!! Especially if you're a luthier, people have no idea how many things and little things you collect (tools, scraps of wood) I hope that goes over smoothly.

50 years in the making! Unique apricot back, aged spruce soundboard. It got strings today. It's loud but immature in tone, good balance. I'll play it for about a week to test and develop the tone, then glue in the shams and finish the back.

The oud is in the process for finishing now. I just first put strings on it to test it and it sounds so good I had to post it. When it is finally finished I'll post more pictures.

The Apricot oud is sold! I'm very happy it's going to a good home with a fine player. One of the most dedicated oudists I've met. Thanks to all for yor support, this may be my last one.
