I'm sure that everyone who visits this board would love to see photos of such a fine instrument. I really can't see what harm it would to to post some photos. You'd be hard pressed finding better oud 'connoisseurs' than on this message board!

You are totally right Tezza

I could not agree more man.

I personally feel worried seeing this kind of add.
As if there is something to hide.

What is the price? What does it look like?

Do know which Nahat was the maker? If not, can you post a photo of the label inside so that one of the board's arabic speakers can figure it out?

Which Nahat

spyrosc - 11-23-2005 at 01:48 AM

Brian,

I can tell you without looking at the label inside. I've done so much research on them for Richard I can see them in my sleep.

This oud is made under the label "Ikhwan Nahat" if it is an 1895 (or around that period). That means that Abdo George Nahat (a really great artist) was the chief maker together with Roufan his brother.
