1956 GEORGE HANNA NAHAT OUD - RECENTLY RESTORED

Description

THIS IS A RECENTLY RESTORED ANTIQUE OUD MADE BY THE FAMOUS LUTHIER GEORGES (GEORGY) HANNA NAHAT in 1956.
Georges Hanna Nahat produced ouds between 1920 to 1965. He is part of the Nahat family that has been producing ouds since the late 1800s. The Nahat family of ouds have a sound that is very distinctively deep, sonorous, and clear.
