Oud identification query

tkmasuda - 9-2-2016 at 11:14 AM

Hello, oud scrutinizers -- I'm looking for some guidance regarding this oud. The label reads, "fabrique des ouds bordj hamoud le havet sader #133 1967-1971."

These pictures are grainy, but I'm posting for an acquaintance and don't have the opportunity to post better images yet.

Please let me know if you have any insights into this instrument based on this information.

Thanks!
Todd.

Hello there
Where is the label ?
Bourj Hammoud, is a town and municipality in Lebanon located north-east of the capital Beirut, in the Metn district and is part of Greater Beirut. The town is heavily populated by Armenians، so I'd dare to say this might be Garabet Derbedrossian's oud in his Lebanese era.
Well, I'm not sure. Just a hunch.

Yours indeed
Alfaraby
