Beautiful. Congratulations. $65 for 3 day delivery from Japan? That is incredible. I have spent that much (more) to send an oud from California to
the midwestern USA.

Samir, they are really guitar stands. Pretty cheap, about $7 or $8 each at any shop that sells guitars. Not perfect, because the bowl on an oud can
be a little too deep for the stand, but you can modify them a bit and make it work. I always get the ones that are padded all over. I stopped using
them, because I was getting nervous whenever I had company over--the ouds were too close to feet level. So, I built shelves and put the ouds face
down. I know I should keep them in their cases, but I just can't do it.
Who made your oud? I love the wood, and the inlays on the back.

The maker of this Oud is AWAD ELSHRK....Anwar Kubeh & sons . Damascus ,Syeia . was made in 10/15/2001 . I bought it it is brand new from Mr.
Fushimi in Emmaza Market in Japan.
The Email of the oud maker is kebehoud@scs-net.org
Thanks for your info , I bought some nice wooden from the guitar center and they did fall appart in the first use i am going to take them back, i have
for my guitars the brand is Ultimate support they are nice i will see if they work...they are adjustable...I will buy for my new 4 Ouds that I just
got and getting next week.
Well I have a big house where I have one room for all my Musical instruments except my Korg Oasys88 keyboard. That sits in my bedroom with my two
Apple computers , I have to do a lots of work for music with a friend from Africa where he writes music and songs. But I am still recovering since Feb
this year with my massive heart attack. That was my second....I am home most of the time but home as soon as i will feel better to start doing
something. see my House is built up on top of the Lake so I go every evening after 6 for a walk , it is very relaxing up here and i am only 36 miles
North of Los Angeles.
I will post the other pictures as soon as I will get the new Two Ouds one of them is a oud that won the first prize in Ammans(Jordan) oud festival ,
where i asked Mike about it and he said sam this Oud is very expensive .I said well ALASIL has good ouds and the sound is very good and # 1 product .
I have one of his ouds. PRIMO. I just love them...So will keep you posted. salam Samir

I hope your health improves with every day. The ouds, the lake--that is my kind of therapy.
You might want to think about putting the ouds on shelves, though, face down. It keeps them a little better protected, I think, than on the
stands.
I keep all of mine in one room, and I keep a monitor in there for the humidity level, and I even put in an air filter, because the air out here in
Cali is filthy (you know). I take better care of them than I do myself.

I have a humidifire in that room and i keep it runing with a ceilling fan at %50 Humidity. To keep the instruments safe , It gets too hot here summer
time and too cold winter.
But thaks for you wishing me improvement in my health and anytime you like you are welcome just give me a few days note so I can go to the Valley to
KARABACH and buy from him meat for Barbeq. You are welcome with your family any time...Best wishes and regards... Sam

I would advise NOT putting the oud face down as it could add stress on the face. This position would be ok if you place a spacer block under the
bottom edge of the body to keep the bridge clear of the shelf and free from additional stress. Then there's the risk of falling off the shelf during a
seismic event or accidental mishandling. I wouldn't risk my oud to any elevated storage situation as I have paid the price before. You could use the
floor stand with the oud facing the wall for protection, no?

I would think that there would be more risk with the stand. Even if it facing the wall, the fact that it is in a stand means that it is angled, and
that there is a lot of surface area of the face exposed.
I do use spacers so that there is no significant tension on the face. From what I have read, a lot of people do recommend the shelf approach but, of
course, the case would be the safest. Your experience, though, is a lot greater than mine.

Yes, even better in a corner with the oud's face against the wall and the back towards the room. if you have children or pets in the house, the case
is the best place.

Thanks for the good advice, If in the hard case should it be opened at all time ? I have a humidifire controler in that room with a cielling fan on
all day long. I keep it at %45 to %50 humidity. It is very important ,My next door niebour left for a week and came back and his guitar was crap. Real
bad ...See Dr. Oud This site makes you learn a lot about Ouds and it works for other instruments like my Guitars and other instruments. Thank you
Kindley... Samir California
