Welcome Abdullah! Always nice to have another oud maker here.

Nice taqasim by the way. That's one of my favorites. Sunbati. :buttrock:

Love the french polishing too and the scraper work. I give you a thumbs up too. :airguitar:

Welcome to the forum. Beautiful looking and sounding oud! It looks like a Turkish design, but can you tell us a bit about your ouds? What scale length(s) do you normally use? Nice playing too by the way.

Hello Abdullah.

Welcome to the forum.
I like very much these pictures showing a man who can be proud of the instruments he makes.
It's a nice way to come on the forum......so better than an instrument alone.
And the workshop is the room where everything begins....wood to oud by the knowledge of expert hands....
Good luck , Abdullah.

What a wonderful craftsmanship talent you have Abdullah! (sho3'lak 7elo jeddan!!)

Both ouds in the photos are very beautiful, I like your style -kinda turkish influenced, maybe by Faruk Turunz?- I also like the finishing of the bowls and the peg box (bait el mafatee7) is very stylish..

Hope to see more of your projects here at Mike's forums..

We are all here as a family of professionals, makers, players, and hobbyists!

Great job again :applause:

Welcome to the forum

You look rightfully proud of your ouds and you hold them as if they are feathers.

Best wishes

I think this taqasim is from Yurdal Tokcan, a turkish oud player.
