I own an Al Waziri oud, a fixed bridge one, with a nice mellow sound. the soundboard is a six part one, very thin and responsive...

This is an Al Waziri oud.

that is a nice oud. very deep n soothing sound as well.it's rather small for a arabic oud? "or is my eyes playing tricks on me"lol
nice taqsim as well..:)

well i 'll think i m getting a floating bridge then. thank you for all your feedbck guys :)
really appreciate it.

It' seems to be 60cm strings length, like mine. To my opinion, the bowl dimension is rather standart for a "modern" oud.
Are you in touch with Al Vazery?

no i m not. i m actually looking for a arabic oud as well. any recommendations?:)

I would be happy to find a way to get in touch with Al Wazery. May be someone here in this forum can give an help? Thanks for advance!

just a curious question..for his floating bridge, is it the standard arabic tuning or a iraqi tuning? as for d fixed bridge, i assume it's CFADGC. any ideas or advise?

I have a beautiful arabic oud built by the German luthier Sebstian Stenzel. You can contact him through Stenzel
