Zaher Khalifeh Oud for sale .
I'm offering my Zaher Khalifah Oud for sale . I'm more into floating bridge ouds so I'm offering this oud for sale.
The Oud is still in good condition . has lil scratches around the pickgaurd and small crack above the soundboard that can be easily covered by an arm
rest . also the pegs are somehow unstable but I was quite lazy to solve this problem (pegs need some sanding to be more stable) .
It's made out of aged Syrian walnut with spruce soundboard . the sound is very loud and tuneful . I'll be selling it for 450$ excluding shipping &
hard case . I payed 900$ for this Oud including sukkar hard case. the oud was born in 2009.
if you need a super quality custom Oud hard case 150$ will be added to the price. (you can choose a specific model , color , or size for the hard case
and I'll make you one )
here is a video file for the Oud (T.V station recording)

please check the following the Oud photos , will post photos of the crack and the small scratches soon .

This is an amazing deal for someone, surprised no one has commented . . . a luthier-built oud for $450 is very rare.

I enquired, but since I'm in the US it may have gone unnoticed (I'm interested)

As far as I can tell, there is no ban on shipping from Yemen to the US. Back in 2010, there were bombs on a cargo plane originating in Yemen headed
to the US (fortunately detected and disabled before they were detonated), and there were probably some temporary restrictions put in place after that.
It doesn't seem like there is a ban now. Shipping from the US to Yemen is definitely not prohibited, and I can't find anything that suggests the
other way is prohibited.
If you check with Aramex or DHL they should be able to tell you for sure.

new pix for the soundboard damage and string action
DHL , UPS , Fedex are still banned from sending to the U.S . I'll check the Aramex and EMS on saturday.
the Oud soundboard is unpolished , i used to wipe it with a acetone every time when i use a new strings set .but lately I've been too lazy to do that
