Selling my Gimbri/Sintir

excentrik - 11-25-2007 at 05:31 PM

Hey Guys- going through some financial things right now so I'm parting with my Gimbri... I love it but it's the one thing I'm willing to sell...

It's a folk instrument- It's not what we would call professional, but it has a great sound when mic'd right and it's a lot of fun to play. Gut strings are tied and hammered, with a sort of pulley system for tunning. Gold trim around the edge of the camel-skin resonator.

This is a Moroccan Gimbri- although some have called it a Sintir... My friend Hisham who sold it to me called it Gimbri (and he's Maghrebi) so thats what I'll call it.

I'm asking for $320

Hello Tarik. I like your gimbri, it looks very "roots" but I'm centred only on oud for the moment; three under the same roof... then would be one too many!
Do you sell your bicycle?:D:D:D

hey Tarik- how much do you want for the gimbri, bicycle and the stool?:D... I'm sure someone will buy it sooner or later! have you tried ebay?

Hey Tarik,

I will be interested in buying your Guembri but not for that price.

Let me know if you can lower the price, and we will see what we work out.

Thanks.
