Selling My 2004 Ghadban Oud

Hi everyone,

I am unfortunately selling my 2004 Ghadban oud Hanini 1067. I have owned this oud for such a long time and it has been a good journey, it has helped me get through tough times in life, like a best friend. This oud has been treated with the utmost care, low tension strings and tuned a full-step low most of its life. Always wiped clean after playing. The level and quality of workmanship and ornamentation is amazing.

Here are some specifications:
- 58.5cm vibrating string length
- Master grade spruce soundboard
- Nahat style fingerboard, bridge, pick guard and ornamentation
- Bowl is made of alternating walnut and chinaberry
- Perfling is made from ebony/maple/indian rosewood
- Bridge is walnut and the neck is dark walnut
- Ebony pegs

The condition of this oud is almost the same day I bought it. Attached are some pictures and a very nice YouTube video giving a good representation of the sound quality. If you are interested or have any questions please PM me.

Very nice oud and playing. High standard craftsmanship in a well preserved condition. I wish I was a bit closer to hold it :)
Good luck

Yours indeed

Beautiful.
May I ask what the piece you play toward the end is called? I recognize it but cannot recall the name.
