Hi OudFreak:
| Quote: |
1)Is this law still in force in Iraq?
2)And how was the oud traffic done, so a oud can go out of the Iraqi border?
|
1. I'm not sure, but I doubt it nowadays.
2. I've been dealing with old time Iraqi luthiers for a long while now (as a long term customer), they somewhat arrange the "trafficking" of those
ouds, apprently through "risk-taker" drivers !. But for the most part, I get them from great oud artists, particularly when I hear them played live in
concerts or parties.
===================
Just an update:
Both the Abdali and Fawzi Munshid ouds are now SOLD.
The Fadel oud is now available for sale on eBay:

Thanks,

Dear Abdelaal,
I only know 2 Abdelaals, one in Rayya & Skeenah play, and the other I sold an oud to. So I think I've narrowed it down pretty well 
Thanks for sharing your thought my dear.......could it be the good weather in Scandanavia these days?? 
Me thinks NOT 
O.P.

I bought Fawzi's oud lately, the one that sold OudProff.
I think it's not the best way to buy an instrument via the net, but if you cant travel to Iraq or to a country nearby, you cant have one.
I must admit that OudProff was 1000 % reliable. What you pay is what you get (received at home on a hard wooden box plus a hard oud case) and what you
get is amazing!
I have never played an oud like that !
The oud is Bashir-style and it was tuned F A D G C F (from bass to treble) but I prefer the bassy C F A D G C tuning. At both tunings the oud has
amazing sound bright and equally bassy.

Dear spartan,
Thanks man. Actually I got very anxious when I heard about the earthquake in the news !!. But it was a happy ending after all
Enjoy the oud my friend !
Regards,
