Iranian Oud pattern


Hi everydody :

I have an Iranian style Oud and as you see in Pic. attached there is slite difference of neck and body size .
I was wondering if there is any arabic oud maker who would make an Oud with this pattern , for me but with floating bridge and arabic atyle holes on the face .
I assume that would be a special order. does any body know a good oud maker ( Preferly in USA ) who would accept such order ?


Thank you

Hi Ali,
There is one guy, he is really good oud, Bouzouki, Lavta (Greece name for oud which is in your pic). I ordered my bouzouki from him, he made with high quality and clean work. He send it to me via DHL.
Any way for more information you can visit:http://www.samir-oud.8m.com/. and for soundclip for my bouzouki

Dr.Oud is the USA and has made iranian barbat's before. So he's definetly your best bet.

Hey,

Just FYI, this is not a lavta. A lavta has four courses tuned DADA and microtonal frets. This looks more like a barbat. :)

Yes this is a barbat , Iranian Oud is called babrat and this is one . I need a barbat ( Iranian Oud) but with some changes on holes and with floating bridge.
