Central rose needed for Bedrossian

Stefan Andalus - 6-18-2005 at 12:53 PM

Hello, my friends,

I've sent this message to some U2U guys, but the more the merrier. I have an old Bedrossian oud which lacks its central rosette. The diameter of the hole is 4 and1/2 inches.
If anybody has an old delicate rose to sell, or can make one, or knows somebody who can make one (Bedrossian's usual image involves birds, but that isn't necessary) please let me know, OK? Thank you and peace to you, Stefan

Did you try Viken Najarian? I think somebody told me that he made a central rose for them once. It wasn't in that Bedrossian style, but it might be worth a try.

Viken will make any style rosette. He has many patterns, and no doubt he has something appropriate for your oud.
