In the mood for Oud?

This delightful old oud came in for a finish rejuvenation, restring and setup. I love restoring these. Around here they're quite uncommon as far as fretless string instruments go.

That said, I have done quite a few fretless conversions of classical guitars to make accessible and easy to tune oud-like instruments. Feel free to contact me to commission one ;)

This bass had seen it all. It was completely rebuilt after a terrible accident involving a trailer flip on a highway.

The broken neck was rebuilt with a new neck and pegbox scarf, broken tuners were fabricated, the many breaks in the top and sides were patched and reinforced. It was a mess of broken parts when it was brought in. It now lives and breathes again and has been rehomed to a local high school to give great joy to future generations.

A beautiful fully solid wood bass with a lovely spruce top, violin corners and an uncommon but lovely mahogany back. This bass was a joy to play, and a pleasure to bring back to life.
