Authentic Faik Mohammed Fadhel Oud???

ibn_thamir - 7-27-2011 at 11:54 PM

I was wondering if anyone could shed light on the authenticity of this oud. The tag says made in 1980 by Fadhel and sons. Pictures are attached!

Hi,

This not Mohammad fadel, not even close to it

Thanks

I can ensure you that thius is not mohammed fathel's oud, it can be just labeled for easy sale.

I support the above posters, it's an obvious fake.

this oud is a clear fake mohamad fadel would be embarresed ,ashamed and angry but what a shame people think that they can rip off other people like that

Hey guys, does anyone know by chance the prices of Faiq? Has anyone ordered from him recently? I'm about calling him but it would be nice to know ahead of time, thanks

well last time i have visted his workshop in baghdad he wanted $1500 for a floating bridge oud and he wouldnt go down on the price

How long ago was this?? Do i think its worth it? I've heard mixed reports about his ouds, some say he and his sons are the best makers now

hi guys
i have a question. some days ago i asked my iraqi friend about best luthiers in iraq. he gave me three names: fares jihad, leith jihad and faik. can anyone tell me who is the best one? and better prices ofcourse...

dubai244 - 7-31-2011 at 01:35 PM

hi,

I dont know about the prices. But the best iraqi oud liether (in my opinion) is Yaroub Mohammad Fadel. I dont have his contact number but i do have his email. Jihad is very good, i have tried his oud and i dont know about the prices.

In kuwait, there is great oud leither, iraqi style, and he is a member in this forum, under nick name "Ahmad maker". he have videos in youtube.

Thanks

Well at the moment Foad jihad sons are the best oud maker in iraq and in the middleast in my opnion I have a big collection of iraqi ouds(including mohmad fadeloud, najim aboud,fawzi munshid and fares oad jihad) but my favouret one is the oud that is made by fares. Mohmad fadel sons(fayeq and yaroub) are good makers but their prices is always high i guess they are relying on their fathers reputation and they are abusing his name.
