The weakening Canadian dollar allows me to further reduce the price of my latest oud.
$1500 shipping included in North America.
I will be adding some more pictures since I have done some final touches like adding a collar around the neck joint and I have also refined the fit of
the pegs.
I will also try to make a new video in the next week or 2. its really a stunning sounding oud and it should be in a musician's hands.

This oud is now sold, thanks everyone for your interest.
I will be starting another oud in the coming weeks, if you are interested in having a custom made instrument and would like to have input in the wood
choices etc... Please get in touch with me through the following email: Nassif.Samir@gmail.com
With my growing family, I am making only 1 oud per year so this would be for someone who is ok with a long term project.
