More Shehata Ouds...
Two more higher end Maurice Shehata ouds are available. One is a rosewood bowl covered entirely with mother of pearl. This is not your $300 ebay
mother of pearl oud. It has the Shehata sound and quality craftsmanship. The other is an ebony oud with a mother of pearl purfling or inlay design on
the bowl and mop binding around the perimeter of the oud and soundholes. Rosettes can also be installed in the soundholes upon request. These are two
of his upper end ouds.
Mother of Pearl Oud - $3500 USD (No longer available)
Ebony Oud with Mother of Pearl - $2000 USD (No longer available)

If you are interested in these ouds or any other Shehata ouds, you can email him or email me for ordering information.
Here's a picture of Maurice recently delivering a similar all MOP oud to the fantastic artist and oud player, Abadi el-Johar.

These ouds are no longer available. They are on their way to Maurice's retail shop in Qatar, but can be custom ordered.
