thanks for posting your oud, hosam.
Is there laquer/finish on the top and finger board?
I wonder from oud makers how you decide if to put laquer or not.
tnx

hosam - forgive me for not recognizing the name earlier. i understood his name to be mourad al-turki but my oud was made by him as well - see:
http://www.mikeouds.com/messageboard/viewthread.php?tid=2746#pid176...
i'm very curious to know where his shop is; how you met him; how old a man he is; the price range of his ouds ... what was it like (?!?) being there?
in short, please tell me all about it.
fraternal greetings ... here's a photo of me and mine (i recognize the slightly indented, finishing tip at the end of the peg box):

Thank you all again. The finger board is finished. I am not sure what kind of finish is used.
I did not buy this oud myself. My brother in-law did from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Price paid 2200 SAR (1 $US = 3.75 SAR) after negotiating the price
down. This is my second oud made by Murad Al-Turki totally by accident, as I did not know who the maker was until I got the oud.
I bought my first oud the last time I was in Cairo from one of the larger musical shops at Mohammed Ali Street in older part of the city, but I never
met Murad. That was back in the summer of 2000. I recall the long conversation I had with the shop owner. He was the one that recommended that oud
for me. It seems that Murad has a smaller shop in the same area but he supplies the larger shops as well. I was told that the local working musician
prefer his ouds for quality and price. As for his age I am guessing he is in his thirties based on the photo in the label. I am pleased with both
ouds.
