FOR SALE: Nahat-style Arabic Oud by Sam Ouds

ChanningPDX - 11-12-2021 at 02:05 PM

I've decided to sell this very nice oud because I'm mostly focusing on playing Turkish oud these days and just not playing this one very much.

It has a walnut bowl, spruce top, 60 cm scale, gorgeous inlay work. Currently strung with LaBella Arabic strings in C-C tuning. Comes with a gig bag, a case, and a risha.

I bought this a few months ago for $800 new. I'll sell it for $650 including shipping within N. America.

OK, time for a special post-Christmas sale from Crazy Channing's Oriental Floor Covering and Gently-Used Oud Emporium.

$500 USD including shipping within N. America.

If you didn't get the oud you wanted from Santa's workshop, I'd be happy to help.

Do you have more details? Who made this?

Hi,

The oud was made in Cairo by a young oud maker named Mohammed Ali Al Hegri, who goes by the name "Sam Ouds" on social media.

He regularly advertises his ouds for sale on the forum, and several forum members have bought ouds from him in the last couple of years, which is how I found out about him.

The oud has a 60 cm scale and currently is tuned C-C with a set of LaBella Arabic strings, though I'd recommend stringing it with a custom set of strings. Mustafa from Oudstrings.com has an oud from this maker as well and could advise some good string options.

If you're interested in buying and/or have any other questions, please send me a U2U. Thanks for your interest!
