Thanks very much for the translation Zalzal.
Does that imply it was made by Mohammed Fadel Hussein, or would it be the work of the sons, or perhaps another member of the family?
Regards,
Greg

Hi Samir, it clearly has been played a lot. It sounds good. It belongs to my teacher.

Is an authentic oud and it does not matter if he have been working alone or not since at this period his ouds are among the best of his production.
Best wishes

Thanks to everyone for your input. And thanks, in particular, to Ronny for the confirmation of its authenticity. I was reasonably sure it was the real
deal, but Ronny is the expert on Iraqi ouds.
Melbourne, I will let you know if it ever becomes available for sale 
Thanks veyselmaster, for the picture of your Fadel, it is very beautiful and looks to be almost the same design.
Regards,
Greg

Cheers Greg 
And your oud Veyselmaster is very beautiful - not to mention the condition. Theres something very interesting about Iraqi ouds is that sooo many are
so simple and "humble", and hence sometimes misleading when it comes to quality, but the sound is definitelly always there...And Fadels ouds always
speak for themselves of course.
Regards

The shape/design of these two ouds are typical for Fadel. The ¨best¨ fakes are made in Iraq but all makers seems to do some mistakes, some severe
mistakes and some very silly mistakes - our luck
Best wishes
