Damascus Oud purchase from Antoun Tawil

I am currently in Syria. I read an article regarding the current hardships of luthiers in Damascus building Ouds. While visiting Damascus I contacted Antoun Tawil and he came and brought us to his small shop. I bought an Oud from him. I have enough Ouds so I told my wife this Oud was for my son. Antoun was extremely nice and I was happy to help him out and get a great gift for my son by purchasing an Oud from him.
