HELP NEEDED: Dr Oud's book, Oud Construction and Repair

kampanas - 7-13-2021 at 02:33 AM

Hi Guys,

I've been writing a paper on oud makers for university and was wondering if anyone had a copy of The Oud Construction and Repair by Richard Hankey. A lot of makers have referenced it as a strange source on oud building, I would like to reference it for my paper. All I need is maybe a few photos of certain pages just so I can get an idea of the book and Dr Oud's approach.

Thanks,
Nick

Hi Nick,
Richard is a forum member here.
I would PM him and ask him personally. Maybe he can answer what you want directly or send you the pics you need.

Does anyone know if I can get it as an e-book? I sadly don't have time to wait for it to ship from the USA to England.

Hello Nick!

Good idea to write an academic paper on oud construction! The world definitely needs more research on instrument making! What university are you at?

I can assist you, by having a zoom meeting with you in which we go through the book together. Hopefully, you will then have all the info you need. Would that help?

Richard Hankey is on Facebook, which is how I contact him. I just sent him and FB message and sent a link to you forum post. Not sure if he has an electronic copy he can sell.
