Is he a relative of the Ali Khalifeh clan? His style is impeccable! Very ornate, but somehow he avoids any gaudiness at all... Truly talented young cat.

Yes Tarik dear, of course. He's a descendant of the same family. I think that the late Ali Khalifa is his father's uncle or so. He was born in Damascus and raised "in" the family's workshop. Good, isn't he ?

Yours indeed

Complete Hand-make rosettes

hi dear, the decoration are cut by hand of course... they are wooden made as no camel bone were available at the time of making.. as I know, Zaher has spent some months cutting and preparing the decoration completely by hand. The only industrial parts of the oud is the plastic circle in the middle of the face; it's cut by laser.

hope you I answered your questions..

Amazing replica of a Nahat oud. The best I have seen yet.

At $2000 someone call the cops... it is a steal.

Mood: IM IN THE M-OUD

[*] posted on 11-8-2012 at 09:29 PM


im a bit disapointed because i contacted zaher and asked him about this oud and how much he told me 5000-6000 dollars and now i see it is here for $2000 I know it is a beautiful oud and there is a lot of work involved but explain the 3000-4000 dollar price difference


And by the way im not having a go at anyone or putting them down but i feel someone was trying to pull one over me
