Yeah, it went pretty quickly. Good news though is Mo is in the process of making two similar ouds. Here are two shots of the bowls. One bowl is
entirely made of walnut, while the other one has 3 ribs of palisander where the inlay is done. Take a look. Both of these are available for 1000
USD.
Walnut with Palisander ribs
All Walnut

Mike -
I don't know if you recall but I contacted you a couple of years ago regarding a custom made Shehata oud based on Nahat features...I've been fiddling
with bits n pieces in photoshop ever since and I think I've nearly come up with something I would like put together - I would greatly appreciate your
assistance once I have it all sorted. I will email you!
Cheers.

These ouds (paduk 1 and paduk 3) are significantly better(aesthetically) than the first two ouds shown in the first post by Mike on 06.01.2007. In the
first model (Nahat copy), the circle drawn around the rosette is not a circle, very unprecise. In the second one (Palissander and walnut), the
rosettes and the decoration around them don't have a neat circular form. The ouds are sold, the post is old, but it is ok. Caring too much for the oud
appearance and exactitude of its geometry as well as the smallest details. Cheers!

Dear Oud Freak,
Elsewhere on these forums, it has been pointed out to you that it is not wise to criticize the geometry of an instrument, based upon low resolution
photos, taken at an unknown angle. When you criticize an instrument's geometry, you are criticizing the competency of its maker. The two makers you
have chosen to criticize in this way (Mourice Shehata and Nazih Ghadban) are recognized as two of the best oud craftsmen in the world.
I believe they deserve better than to be publicly judged by an anonymous person, on the basis of a couple of photos.
Greg

Hello OUd Freak!
Ouds are like humans, in my own simple point of view: Quality and beauty are inside (before all)!
The little superficial defects you have noticed, I think they don't matter, because they show a handmade and not robotic craftwork... and we musn't
forget the pixelisation effect of the photograph. I'm sure that Maurice Shehata knows what a circle is!!!!
Perhaps do you think those ouds are freaks because your vision is so?
It's a richness that everyone could give his own opinion but i believe that the critical thinking is a constuctive feeling if you propose solutions,
instead of showing the defects only.
This is a high resolution picture of my Shehata; It is not perfect as you can see, and not uggly too;It's simply a treasure because it makes me see
"la vie en rose" and its real richness is not visible but audible.
ciao oudlookingfreak
