1950's George Hanna Nahhat
I unpacked an old oud I bought from an Arab in a basement off Broadway way back in 1975 or so. I though he might be taking me to a dungeon or
something, but he pulled this old decrepit oud out of a pile of junk. The face was damaged, sanded away and had writing all over it. The back is also
barely there, and the label was mostly missing, but I bought it for $75, just to see what it was like inside. It was totaled. Someone had replaced the
braces with crude bars using resorcinol glue. Thats the glue used for submarines, waterproof, rock hard as concrete and impossible to remove. I ground
off the braces but lost the face over the years, it was beyond repair anyway. I now realize it is a Georgey Hanna Nahhat. There's enough of the label
left to see Georgey, similar to this one:

Another basket case restoration, oh boy!
