My New Nazih Ghadban !
I want to share the following photos of my new Nazih Ghadban oud, which is not yet ready. The bowl is made of walnut with maple stripes. It is not
finished yet, only wet with water to show the wood's color and lines. Once Nazih sends me more pictures, I'll update this thread.
Edit
- Bowl wood: 18 years old Lebanese walnut / maple stripes
- Neck wood: Same walnut and maple stripes
- Bowl dimensions: 50.5 x 37 x 19 cm
- String length: 60 cm
- Soundboard wood: Master grade Caucasian spruce
- 7 courses for the Arabic tuning DO FA LA RE sol do fa
Edit2
- Width of the fingerboard: 4.1cm at the nut, 5.9cm at the neck-bowl joint

Hehehe.. no man.. I don't know yet, but definitely not 7cm! I just asked for the width at the nut to be a bit more than 4cm to have a good spacing for
better playability (I have long fingers, no problem). My current 6-course oud is ~3.8-3.9 mm wide at the nut so the extra space I asked for is good to
accommodate for one more course. And yes I asked for a relatively large bowl and one sound hole to accentuate the deep bass tones.

I remember Nazih told me something near 5.8cm.. but not more that 6cm for sure. I will ask him to get the exact measurements.

Wow!!! This oud is fantastic. The look is very refined. Understated and beautifully done. I Like the rosette too- what a treat for the eyes. Congrats!

Mabrouk the Oud Reda, it is a treasure, and I am sure that with time it will be better, because it is made with the best wood...
with 7 strigns, I would be lost... I heard that Nasser Shamma had a oud with 8 string..
Mabrouk again.

Thank you all for your nice comments. I received the oud this week, and indeed it is one of the most beautiful ouds I've ever seen. And here is a
recent recording: http://www.mikeouds.com/messageboard/viewthread.php?tid=9624
