this looks to be a well made oud. Can anyone read the name on the label?
Thanks!

lol... it says Nazih Ghadban but its obviously a fake one.

It says "Nazih Ghadban" in very bad handwriting. It looks like it was written after the label was fixed.

I would not buy it. The face looks stained and that will kill any sound quality. I have a Ghadban Oud and the label is nothing like this one.

Thank you guys ! I was also intrigued by the oud and wanted to know before bidding ! I thought it could be an early oud from Nazih.

The labels of Nazih Ghadban have changed more than once during several periods. This label is definitely not one of them, plus it is not Mr. Ghadban's handwriting. Plus this oud carries no serial number.

Definitely a fake Ghadban oud.
