oud makers in Baghdad?
Hi All
I hope this message finds you well.
Does anybody know if there are still good oudmakers in Baghdad?
Best regards
Jaafar

If I still remember well, Dhafer Youssif (from Tunis) told me that his oud was made by Fadel (son).
And I played his oud... and it sounds wanderful.
The wood might be dead, but the oud is alive.

Yes, Faik Fadel, and also there is Fouad Jihad's son Laith, I have one of his ouds and LOVE it!

Hi
I spoke to Faik himself yesterday.
http://www.faikfadhel.com/index.html
He makes two types a floating and fixed bridge. Both are shown on his web site. He sells the fixed bridge one for US$1500 plus $200-300 shipping.
Regards
Jaafar

Iraq is full with the best oud makers like:
Mohmad fadel sons
Foad Jihad sons
Najim Aboud
Qasim alnaqash
Alabdale
You can find them in Karada district, or salhiya or souq alsaraya

Or his ghost? I don't know for sure, but if I remember correctly Oud.Proff told me he had died. (some time ago)
I have an oud by his son Haidar, but he is no longer in Iraq and unfortunately no longer making ouds.

They are very good ouds, and worth looking for, mine is like a M.Fadel, with the curved soundboard and shallow back.
