I have a guy interested in buying one of my ouds and he wants to trade-in an "old" instrument.
The photos are very poor, but does anyone know anything about the maker or the instrument?
Regards,
Greg

Hi Greg,
All I can see clearly on the lable is Jameel Georgy sons, possibly the makers
on the small rossets also on the right hand is Jameel and the left is George
best regards
Merry Christmas to ALL

It is listed on ebay with only 13 + hours to go, the count down is on with no bids yet. Is it worth $235.56 American bucks plus another $250??? or so
more for shipping.

Hi Abusin,
Thanks for the information on the label and rosettes.
Andy, this seller has listed this oud and a number of other instruments (including a sukar oud) in the hope that one or more will sell and he can then
go ahead with the purchase of one of my ouds. If his "Jameel Georgy" oud does not sell, I was considering taking it as a trade-in.
But it seems like it is from an unknown maker, so I wont risk it.
Regards,
Greg

Jamil Georges is un unknown maker ? Dr Oud gifted us, at oud projets forum, with a complete photographic repair process on a Jamil George's
oud...
May be this oud is made by sons, or another homonyme...

Gamile Georges is a good oud maker i don't really know why so many not know him i have an old oud from him what can i say the sound is as good as the
best oud makes today.

After seeing the photos, nobody has suggested that this particular instrument was made by Jamil Georgy. Is there a possibility it was made by his sons
or is it more likely that it was made by an unknown?

Greg
