Wanted: Affordable oud, good quality.
Hello,
Kind regards to all. I'm back after a long while.
I am looking for a good, very decent quality oud. I understand that their prices are quite high these days. However, if there would be any second-hand
instrument available I would be very interested.
I have been checking the marvelous ouds built by Mr. Ali Al-Ibrahim and Mr. Nazih Ghadban. If at all possible, I'm interested in a Nahat style oud, or
Iraqi oud. I would prefer an instrument built in mahogany with spruce top; rosewood would be ideal but it may be too expensive.
It could be possible for me to buy it in a couple of payments, probably around November-December. Finances are not the greatest right now for me but I
would love to get back playing and writing for oud. Sorry if my expectations sound a bit too high.
Thank you and may God bless you all.
Carlos Najar

Thank you very much Siro and Fadi for your replies... my funds would be between $500-$800... hope it's ok... I'm planning to perform and record with
the Oud so I would like it to have decent sound with decent woods...
Fadi, too bad I'm too far away from Montreal, I'm in Calgary Alberta - next year we're planning to move to the maritimes though. Wish I could try both
Ghadban and Salmeen Ouds, maybe you would have any photos available?
Best regards,
Carlos
