These are some photos of a Jamil Qandalaft oud i recently acquired....it is made in 1950...........
Can anyone tell me if this type of ouds can be sold easily and what is the price range for an oud like this?

Hi everyone,
I've been searching for information on Jamil Qandalaft. Haven't found very much as yet, but I did come across these pictures from a previous thread,
and something caught my attention in the main rosette: it seems to show two lions rampant on either side of a crown. Is this some kind of herald? Is
it a common feature of Qandalaft ouds? And most importantly: does anyone know what it refers to??

I've repaired a few Qandalaft ouds. The ones I've repaired are not nearly as ornate as this, and they all sounded great. I personally prefer less
"bling" because that stuff is usually heavy, adds no structural integrity to the instrument, and a lot of the mosaic end up falling out.
But of course, it's a work of art on it's own and gorgeous to look at!

This is the same maker as the Farid el Atrash oud I am pretty sure.

I know he also played Nahat of course.
