ONNIK FOR SALE

oudmaker - 12-15-2007 at 02:07 PM

Dear Friends,
This year in July, thanks to Mike`s Oud Forum, I have successfully ouctioned my 1900 Manol. She found her new owner in Australia. Now I am putting on sale my Onnik Karibian through the same private bidding process.
As far as I know, this oud is the earliest Karibian and is in excellent condition;I've taken care of her for the last 41 years. Excepy for the pegs, she has all her original parts, including the totoise shell pick guard. As you can see from the attached picture, she has the label dated 1928.
Most of you know that I am not in the oud buying & selling business. I am an oud and violin maker, and this oud is a member of my private collection, which I've decided to sell piece by piece to the person who will appreciate each instrument's unique value. My collection has many more instruments. I am in my seventies and have decided that the time has come for them to find new homes.
The starting bid is $5,000. Please use my U2U or my Web site for initial correspondence. I will give to the bidders my private e-mail address for further correspondence and will also inform them of the latest bid as it progresses.
I will not reply to any requests or comments made by way of Mike's Oud Forum
Regards to all,
Dincer

Will you please help me to put up the picture of the label. It says it is too big to be accepted.
