Im selling an high quality Arabic oud handmade from luthier Aref Sayed. Aref was at the same time with Butrus studying at Antonio Stradivari School of Violin Making in Cremona (Italy) lutes and violin makings, so that this knowledge would enrich and expand their knowledge on Arabic oud crafts.
String lengt is 58cm. Bowl is made out of walnut, aged German Spruce wood soundboard and ebony fingerboard. The instrument has a very powerful sound, will publish a video soon. See attached pictures.
Please U2U me for price and any other enquiry.

Here comes the video: https://youtu.be/26QisFtqE1Q

The strings are old, though one can still feel the powerful sound of this instrument, on both, high and low register.
