Hi Friends
I am wondering why Mr John Erlich didn’t call me about his oud
Before buying his oud and posting his article to know the truth.
I would like to clarify :
1-I assure that Oud #1022 is not yet sold it is in my warehouse
2-You can see it in my current production http://www.oudnazihghadban.com/users/current.asp
3-The date of fabrication of oud #1022 is 14-1-2004
4- All my ouds made during 2001 didn’t reach the serial number 1000
5- Each one of my oud has a certificate of fabrication in which I sign all its charecteristics and my signature
6- I think Mr Erlich has to claim and to lodge a formal complaint with the authorities against the vendor (I assure his oud is forged )I am ready to
help him and to give him all documents
At whom are interested in my Ouds and Buzuks , there are two ways to buy one of them:
1-By sending an email to info@oudnazihghadban.com
2- Or by visiting my workshop at Rass-Baalbeck, Lebanon
3-My instruments are exposed in my site “ http://www.oudnazihghdban.com”
Thanks for all people who didn’t accept as true what Mr Erlich said about my ouds, I am sorry about the farce of Mr Erlich who was fall as
victim of a forger.

Dear Ustad Nazih,
I apologize for not e-mailing you directly and privately first about the oud. It was impolite of me not to give you the opportunity to respond to my
concerns in a private communication before posting my opinion in a public forum.
Maasalaama,
John

Hi all:

I don't think it is reasonable to attack the good reputation of a highly regarded luthier, based upon a quick evalaution of a single instrument of
unknown history.
I agree all, Nazih is one of most great Luthier in the world,
and any person knows that Nazih is a honest man, their Ouds are numbered, and if there is some person interested in staining their name, fails
totally, because those who we have bought its Ouds, we know the great that he is, and the professional who is.
don´t worry Mr. Nazih you are very great.

Ahalan Faladel,
Super Administrator Mike closed the topic. I feel I am respecting his decision and think you should, too.
My opinions remain unchanged--I simply acknowledge that it was impolite of me to BEGIN by posting on a public forum, rather than privately e-mailing
Nazih. However, I suspect, had I done so, nothing would have changed, maybe other than Nazih feeling a LITTLE BIT less attacked.
Oud Forum visitors are encouraged to go back to the thread in question and read my posts carefully and show exactly where I said that Mr. Ghadban is a
bad luthier and where I said that he is dishonest, because I certainly did not intend say either.
Thanks,
John
