It looks like it was made in Mohammed Fadel's workshop but I think it was made by one of his sons. Either Omar or Faiq. My guess is that it was made
by Faiq.
Mohammed Fadhel was not doing anything at his old age in 2000.
But it does look authentic.
How much did you pay for it?
Can you please record something and attach it here. I would love to hear it.

The absence of a serial number is suspicious though.
It could be an excellent replica but I still think It is authentic.

Thanks Alioud,
I paid around $900 for it inclusing a hard case , changed the strings a week a go, i am getting a buzzing sound at teh moment , i am hoping that it is
because the strings are new and will settle in time, otherwise i have to show it to a specialist to look in to it,
as for recording , i am quiet a bigginer and hopefully will do something in the near future,
thanks for your help again

Hi Hama,
Fadel or not, it's a lovely looking oud. It may take a couple of weeks for the strings to really settle in, but I don't have any experince with
floating bridge ouds. Just checking the photos again, it looks well made; the bowl design is lovely.
Regards..Paul

Hi oud_man,
Thanks for that, i agree with you and i think i was lucky there, i met a gyu who came from Bagdad and he told me that he brought it with him to
sell , I think that is why it looks like a bargain,i really like itas i am a bigginer and want to learn to play oud, and I dont think i will let it go
for now , but thanks for your interest
Regards
Hama

Dear Hamada
Mohammed Fadel used only rose wood in this type of oud moving bridge and from the label you can know that this oud is done by Faiq he alwayes
cheeting people and you didnt trust him. I have a lot of Fadil orginal oud one of them made in 1958 moving bridge and also 2 normal oud one of them
was owned by famous oud player Ali Hassan for any inquries please contact me

Gee, isn't there always SOMEONE out there who is willing to burst a bubble? Hey, if you love the oud and it plays well, who CARES who made it. Isn't
it all about the music in the end?

It's good to see such spirit, but as you know, there are people that have undoubtedly been tricked or conned in this forum. Hama is rightfully upset
should they have spent money worth a Fadel oud for an imitation.
It's like spending money on a BMW when it is some other company's car and the point of driving is just to get from place to place.
But please do not be offended in any way about my reply, and this applies to everyone, but it definitely seems to be the case that we are rightfully
suspicious and frustrated for a reason!

hi guys be carful we still here. first how many time do we have to say that faik , or Faeq or as mentioned here Faiq. is the oldest and still working
in Iraq. and he was the one working on his father workshop since he was 10. and now he had had submitted a full numbers of fadhels ouds to the
ministry of Arts and culture in Iraq. and you can get a cirtificate on the authenticity of this oud. www.faikfadhel.com
this is Omer Oud it is clear it was signed by Omer. but still you have to ask Omer if it is his but this is Omer signature cant you see. :applause:
and fadhel was working till the last day of his life and he died stronger than me. :D

Hi TAFTAF
thanks for the clarification,
I still have the oud and kind of happy with it as i am a beginner,it has some buzzing sound of the qarar strings , may be it is down to changing the
strings 2 weeks a go ( i hope it is any way)i think the bridgr and neck need some work or perhaps replacing ,I wil show it to some body in london in
teh nextwek or 2,
as long as the oud is build by one of fadil sons or a family member, i wil be happy, as a matter of principle ,i wil be upset if some body sold me
and oud as a fadil oud and urns out to be some thing else.
Best regards
hama

Hama!
For this buzzin sound, try to put a little, tiny peace of paper under the nut, so the action of the strings will be a little bit higher. So the
strings will not buzz. It works sometimes....

Dear Taftaf, do you own any ouds by Faik Mohammad Fadhel, I've always wanted to hear his ouds. Is it possible to order ouds from him from the contact
info on the website faikfadhel.com Also maybe you can post some pictures of Faik's ouds, the website only has pictures of one oud.
Thank you

Hi All
This is a Takseem recorded on My oud ( picture atached) by a friend , not a great sound quality and doesn't do the Oud Much Justice,
the reason for the poor sound quality is , the Takseem was Recorded on a normal Camcorder without any special Mic or any extra accessories, then the
audio extracted from the Video, the size of the audio file was almost 3 MB , so we have to compress to 1MB to be able to attach it here , hope you
enjoy it and forgive the poor sound quality .
BR
