Its fair to say that Ali Khalifeh's ouds are on the lowest end of the ouds available here so its no surprise that they are built with restricted
attention to detail. Well they are cheap for just that reason. I have owned a recently made khalifeh and I have sold it. It wasnt a bad oud at all for
what I had paid for it and for what it was used for wich is learning on. I dont think they pay attention to sound quality etc.. but the one I had was
built solid and it didnt break after many close calls. If they were put in a box with no foam peanuts. BACK to BACK! wich is concentrating all the
pressure on the spot the backs touch. Plus they had strings on. I think shipping a oud is not somthing to take so lightly if you are really interested
for it to arrive safely. I havent ended up paying less then 100$ to ship a oud all locations combined. It always worries me when they advertise
shipping for 30$ or so... It must be a small package. wich probably means they didnt use as much protection as possible.

Samir, you are absolutely right about shipping. Both shipments were in small boxes, with NO foam peanuts.
I just thought they would be the perfect type of oud for my little 3 year old twin nephews to learn on, with adult supervision of course. They love
the instrument. That's why I bought these particular ouds. The seller who sold them to me (not Khalifeh), hopefully will send me 2 more with the
proper packing materials. I am waiting for his response.
Thanks for your input,
Koukla
