Please note this instrument is being sold"AS IS" with no returns. Please read the description prior to ordering. This oud is beautiful with very intricate design work. I am not a specialist on ouds, but this one came in to our store on consignment. I'll do my best to describe it. There is a label inside with arabic writing. I sent some pics to an oud player's group on Facebook and got a reply that it is a build by Mohamed Khalifa, made in Syria in the 1990's. He stated that it would be worth around $1500. However, I am selling it at a lower price as it has a couple issues. There are 2 fairly long cracks in the top, which could be repaired by someone who has the proper tools and skills. Some of the tuning pegs have been replaced and I believe another one needs replaced. The tuning peg for one of the high F strings will not hold tune. The oud will ship in a nice hardshell case. I am selling this "as is" with no returns. Please ask any questions you may have prior to ordering. Thank you!
