Most of the ouds were made by Mr. M Mussa "apart from a Shehata, Sukar, Khalfa and a Tasos" who was the cherry on the top of the day, many thanks to him.

Cheers Owain, Awad - I think that oud was one of Michael's 1st 7 course nahat style ouds. approx 10 yrs old and they just keep getting better.
Many thanks Michael for all the joy you are bringing into the world with these fine instruments.

Great job guys! It must have been a fantastic day and you even had the weather on your side. Great to see your ugly mugs and this selection of much more beautiful ouds. Looking at the photos and video feeling a bit melancholy, but hey, I had a great day too! I'll be there next time!
