Hello all,
I was wondering if someone can tell me about this oud, I see that it is built in 1930 and thats it.

Any info would help me out.

Thank you all.

Congratulations,

you have a seemingly all original oud of Hanna Nahat, who belongs to the most prestigious family of Syrian oud makers, built in 1920. Larger pictures would help to see if some parts were changed afterwards.

For more info see : http://www.droud.com/Hanna.html

regards,

Dan

Nahat expert needed !

As far as I've seen from Nahat, this one appears to my eyes a bit rough. I'm quite doubtful it is one.

If you are wanting someone to give you a meaningful appraisal of this instrument's value, I would suggest you post much larger photographs and some detail on the instrument's history. Also, you will need to be prepared to answer questions about string height (action) and the condition of important elements, such as the sound-board.
