hello oud lovers , i wanted to share with you my last acquisition , an oud that im extremely satisfied with !

yellow mahogany (quite rare wood) bowl with

20 years old pine moski soundboard

fingerboard is ebony on sycamore (maple) 20 cm with fingy wood after the soundboard

mop inlay

bridge fingy on MOP decoration on a solid teak wood (also rare wood)

and those lovely old olive wood pegs

and stringed with aquila light tension

string length 60 cm

he amazingly masters the sound , for this one i wanted the big old sound of asabguy style, pure , clear , i call it "cave sound texture" is like you are playing from a cave and with no surpises , he did exactly the way i wanted
