FOR SALE: Sandi oud

epokhe - 11-1-2013 at 09:52 AM

Hi everyone,

I’m selling an oud from the workshop of Turkish luthier Saadettin Sandi. This is model MKA-25, with a larger body than the usual Turkish oud, so it can be tuned lower for Arabic music. I would call it a mid-range instrument: nothing fancy in terms of design, just quality materials and solid craftsmanship, with a nice resonant sound. I’m asking $325 plus shipping, with the custom-built hard case included. Here are the specs:

Condition
I’ve owned this oud for three months, played it regularly, and stored it carefully between playings. No bangs or bruises, no superfluous buzzing, no structural problems of any kind.

Dimensions
scale length: 60 cm
bowl length: 50 cm
bowl width: 36 cm
bowl depth: 17.5 cm

Materials
bowl: walnut
top: spruce
fingerboard: rosewood
pegs: rosewood
