Tis the season to sell some ouds
Hi all,
I'm selling 3 of my ouds
Samir Oud, floating bridge, 7-course oud with serious upgrades, AKG microphone pickup, Peghed tuning pegs, French Polish finish - this is a very
seriously cool instrument but it just isn't getting the love it deserves in my hands. I was saving it for professional performances but its very
unlikely that I will have the time to pursue this any time soon - 7 courses are maybe a little too much for me right now - anyway easily a $2000
instrument. Here's a video:

2nd Oud
A very nice Turkish oud by Ramazan Calay - here's a video:

This was an impulse buy at Lark Camp... really good oud but I need to thin out my collection and I'm just not playing this that much any more. $1500

Last but not least
Finally, this is the most painful for me to let go...
A really flawless oud by Dincer Dalkilic - I have some really nice photos here:

A sound file here:
http://www.varis.com/Oud/DincerDalkilic/LateNightAgain.mp3
What can I say - I can use some extra cash these days... economic conditions being what they are. I'm trying to hold on to just the ouds I play
regularly. This was a very tough choice because its such a beautiful instrument but I think someone looking for a great Turkish oud in a style that
Cinucen Tanrikorur would have played will really enjoy this oud.
$2500 - accepting offers on all the ouds - all supplied with gig bags and a set of strings strings

Lower Prices
Well... in light of the fact that Jonathan has placed some comparable ouds for sale at much lower prices, I'm dropping the price for you. I was hoping
someone would just shout out a figure first but here goes... I've already said what they were worth - now for the holidays:
Dincer oud: $1500
Ramazan Calay: $900
Samir 7-course w/pickup: $1200
Of course, in good middle eastern tradition, I expect you to bargain...

This thread is not closed, your youtube vids are still up....
Could it be that the 7-course is still for sale?

Some ouds sold
Sorry for the late replies on this thread.
The Ramazan oud is sold.
The Samir oud just sold.
The Dincer is "still" for sale but I might have an interested buyer.
I might be selling some other ouds though so stay tuned. I'm seriously considering getting down to only one oud but the ones that are left are really
special so its a very hard decision. Unfortunately (for me) I can really use the money right now. I just don't want to make any decisions I will
regret later.

I'm still trying to decide which ouds I will sell and what I'll be asking for them. I'm pretty sure I'll be selling Jameel's double soundboard oud
though it pains me to do so - it has a longer scale length that I'm less comfortable with and its feels different from the ouds I'm likely to keep.
You can see photos of it here:

Can you give a ballpark price for the double soundboard oud? That'd be a killer instrument to own.

Jameel's Sandwich Top Oud
Hi all,
Yes... I finally decided to sell the sandwich top oud. A very hard decision!! In the interest of thinning out my collection and the need for some
money in uncertain financial conditions, I must part with this oud. There are details on Jameel's website with some great photos and a video:
http://www.khalafoud.com/sandwichtop.htm
Scale length: 61.5cm. Tuning: CFAdgc'
Bowl dimensions: 14-1/2" wide, 19-3/4" long, 8-3/8" deep
Joseph Tawadros says this oud sounds like an old Nahat! However, it has a longer scale length than I'm comfortable with and my interests have turned
to Turkish style ouds. I'd love to keep it but I think it deserves someone who will really appreciate it AND play it.
I've had a number of people interested in Jameel's double soundboard oud but I'm getting vary wary of shipping these delicate instruments. I will not
ship via airplane so I cannot ship overseas – if you live anyway that is not accessible by ground from Los Angeles don't bother contacting me. I
shipped the Dincer oud to Australia and it arrived with a loose brace, other wise undamaged but I have to assume that the change in pressure and/or
humidity and/or general jostling around during travel must have produced the problem. I've refunded the buyers money and I'm taking it back fro repair
so, at some point I'll probably sell that oud again but nothing is ever going to fly on a plane unless I can get someone to hand carry it.
I'm asking $1700 (or best offer above that) for the first double soundboard oud ever made – again, I have a number of people already interested in
it. Also, in the interests of full disclosure, I've managed to put a scratch in the face of the oud near the bridge where the strings tie up (never
try to tighten a string at the bridge with needle nose pliers!) so, although the scratch disappears or blends in with the ends of the strings (if you
leave the tails long enough), its still there! I'm selling this oud with Jameel's soft case.
Everyone is, of course interested in photos of the scratch! Jameel had a look at it when he was in Los Angeles visiting - he event tried to "steam it
out" without any luck - he said it would NOT have any effect on the structural integrity of the oud and it certainly hasn't affected the sound at all
- its just a scratch.

Jameel's Label
I thought you all would get a kick out of this -- its kind of hard to get a good shot of Jameel's label through his great hand carved rose but check
this out!

Sold
Wow - that was fast!
Jameel's oud is sold.
I am waiting for the Dincer oud to return. I will then need to make some repairs, not yet sure of the extent of the damage but once it is repaired
(for a loose brace) I have have it available for sale.
Thanks everyone for your interest.
