Selling Rapakousios and Gurbuz Ouds


Hi everyone,

I am selling two of my ouds.

I have one gig bag that can be included in the price, though I have better cases for sale if you like: a used hard case by Peter Kyvelos ($200) or one of Jameel's cases ($150).

If you would like to have the same custom strings currently on these instruments, they are $20 a set. I have at least one extra set per oud/tuning that I can easily part with.

Oud by Dimitris Rapakousios:

Walnut body with Spruce top and Rosewood extended fingerboard and pegs

K&K Internal Pickup Installed

Made in 2004 (Athens, Greece)

$1400 plus shipping

Currently tuned: E AA BB ee aa d'd'

Oud by Necati Gurbuz:

Cocobolo/Wenge body with Spruce top and Ebony fingerboard and pegs

K&K Internal Pickup Installed

Made in 2008 (Izmir, Turkey)

$1300 plus shipping

Currently tuned: D GG AA dd gg c'c'

In the pictures below, the Rapakousios oud is on the left, the Gurbuz on the right.

Since I know many will ask, I am in the process of, not just thinking about, buying a very nice old Karibyan oud and need the money for this reason.

I am located in Jersey City, NJ, near Manhattan. Anyone in the area can email me and schedule time to try the ouds in person.

I will upload sound and/or video soon.


Thank you,

mavrothis

Hello Mavrothis

Best of luck with the Karibyan, I'm sure you'll do it justice.

Good luck

Leon

Thanks Leon,

Yes, they are rare, and I feel very lucky to have found one like this.

Selling these two ouds will help me a great deal, though I am as always sorry to let go of good instruments. I think it is definitely worth it in this case.

Thank you,

mavrothis

Lowering prices on both ouds


Hi guys,

I'm adjusting the asking price of each oud:

Gurbuz oud: $1300 with gig bag and set of custom strings

Rapakousios oud: $1400 with gig bag and set of custom strings

Please let me know if you are interested, these are both very good instruments.

Thank you,

mavrothis
