Mr. Ghadban

From my deep heart I am happy that you are doing fine ,and I was worried about you when I saw that strange thing when visiting your site,Where I still do .But I am really happy from my deep heart that you are doing fine and keep making Good Ouds....My 1025 Is ausome ,After all I went through the oud is in a great condition except it has a Violin Pegs , But the sound is Unbleavablte ,all the stains are gone and all the Glue runs are gone ,And guess what it is my main Oud that I am learning on and I am advancing and playing very good for a starter.All my other Ouds are fine but Mike convinced me and he was right that this Oud is agreat oud ,After all the souer taste I had ,Now it is all gone and I would say that I am very sorry and i would like to go in to your site and Order another OUD if you permit that and have to forget and forgive everything hapened in the past between us, we only BASHAR and God made forgivness in life so we both have to forgive each other and be friends .i will one day after all my Heart recovery and when i get the Ok to travel on a plain, that will be when the danger is over since I have one artery blocked at %70 and it is a main one ,Awaiting to heal so i can go through my Bipass (Open Heart sergeory. Promise I will come and personally apologise to you infront of all your family and be your best friend as we started. Salamat wallah yerda alike weyewafekuka. samir Moayyad ibrahim

Dear Mr Samir
I am happy that Oud 1025 is your main oud you are learning on and you are advancing and playing on it.
After Winter the Spring is coming… I forgot everything happened in the past ,I wish you a good health, and as I told you when you called me by phone for the first time the door of my house is always open to welcome you when you would like to come to Rass-Baalbeck.
Salamat

bouzouks

Hello Mr. Ghadban.
I was wondering if you were still producing bouzouks. If so, how much do they cost, and do you supply extra strings with them? Thanks in advance.

Salamt Allah maak and God bless you and your family . Samir,California

Impressed with Mr. Ghadban Ouds..A MUST visit his site and buy a oud from him

syrianoud - 9-14-2005 at 04:36 AM

IMPRESSED......Once you hear his Ouds you will buy ,No matter what price..One good Oud is for lifetime.....And it is worth it.ASK ME

I visited Mr. Nazih Ghadbans site yesterday and I was very impressed by the new production he has , As Mike told me that he is one of the best OUD makers in the world , Yes I would say so .He disigns some Ouds like out of space....Not sure how to describe it , But after sieng so many Ouds and buying some his Ouds are amaizing ,And i would like him to call one OUD RANNAN that I will think about so I can design with his help but not sure where to start ,But I will have to start somewhere.
Today I am getting a nice Oud that I bought from Mr. Victor (Theoudman) still too early for UPS to show up,It has arrived and scanned for delivery ,The oud is by Maurice Shehata and I will post pictures as soon as I get it.
I am getting other Syrian Ouds but most likeley my collection will be from Mr. Nazih Ghadban and Mr. Maurice Shehata .Just a few good quality high priced rather than getting tons of junk where I do not like to have a pile of Ouds , I like brand names and so far the Two i menssioned are the Top in the market...
I thank every body for his support and kindness in here at Mikes Forums and I am so glad that I spend some hours reading posts ,even old once but very interesting by very knowlegeble members ,Where they Arabic sain says the older you grow the more ytou learn .So far I have been reading so much about Ouds and have tons of CD's with Taquaseem where I listen to in my Cars and home .I think that oud music is the most relaxing and the most beutiful thing to listen to out there . Well members have a great healthy wonderful day and may the Lord bless you all and your families . Regards Samir, California

Practicing Mr Nazih Ghadbans OUD 1025

MR Nazih Ghadbans OUD 1025

syrianoud - 9-15-2005 at 08:06 PM

What a OUD?????Wish I new how to post a file in here..Thanks guys.

A closser look at Mr. Ghadbans OUD

syrianoud - 9-15-2005 at 08:12 PM

Look at this peace of the Art by MASTER of ouds MR. Nazih Ghadban.
As soon as I will get my new Two ouds one I bought and another one I will buy tomorrow I will post them in here.They are both so pretty.Both made by Master of Ouds Mr. Nazih Ghadban.
PS Mr. Ghadban is a very good OUD player Very talented he promised to send me some of his Taqaseem on the OUD.He has been playing the oud for the last 20 years so do his daughter Amani who send me an MP3 today and her picture playing the oud,Nazih works by himself on building ouds and doesnt allow anyone to touch his ouds .He puts a lots of effort in to his products and if something hapeneds it really herts him .He told me once the ouds are like his KIDS .And as we spoke and discuss things Nazih does aproccematly 12 OUDS a year and sells them.That is about a month to each oud..and whatthat isnt a lots of money to earn,But Nazih loves what he is doing, He pleased many people in his entire life from rich and famous to poor...And that should earn him a lots or respect. I am very proud of you AMANI and proud of you Nazih keep the GOOD JOB and the rest we keep for GOD. Lots of blessings..Cant wait to get my new OUDS ,And one other thing about Nazih what ever he asks for a oud dont argue that is the price,I never discus price, what ever he asks I pay he earned my trust he works very hard to make these ouds to please us so we have to be considerate and pay the price which is not too much...Lucky I do not make ouds other wise i will be priced at Thousands of Dollars

,he is a very honest person,Now I know who Mr. Ghadban is.Thanks to you MIKE and thanks to Nazih where we had a very long Family conversation today.Wallah law totlob Mallion laadfaalak. Enta bteswa Dahab weenak rejal Sarih wesadik mughlis ..Wish you very good health and may the Lord give you all the good things in life,Enta btesthee ya Nazih leanu albak Tayeb weghyer Esal Mjareb wala tisal Ghasheem.Ana kbiret fil EZ wefi Ayli ghaniyi wekil ahli ghyreen wekorama.Ma fi ahla min el karim.Allah dayman Byaeti kil shi... Salamat.Samir
