This Qanun was purchased new in 2008. It was made by Mohammed Jamil Haddad in Aleppo, Syria. The brand is Al Faraby.
This is a good Arabic Qanun for a student who is learning as well as a musician who is playing public performances.
It stays in tune well (for a qanun) and has a very nice full, warm, clear tone. The mandals are reliable and easy to use.
Although this Qanun does not have the high gloss and fancy inlay of many higher priced qanuns, it is has a beautiful warm tone, is made of good quality solid wood, is sturdy and reliable. Seller has since purchased an Arabic Qanun made by Nabil Kassis of Syria and a Turkish Qanun, so Seller wishes to sell this Qanun to a new owner who will regularly play it and appreciate it's warm tone and simple understated beauty.
Measurements of Qanun Case: 3 feet 10 inches length; and 1 foot 9 inches height at tallest point.
Weight Qanun plus case = 21.5 pounds.
NOTE: This used professional Qanun is in very good condition. However, it has some minor cosmetic scuffs and signs of wear due to regular use and hobbist/professional playing.
1. The hard-shell plastic case has some nicks, dings and scuffs from loading and unloading it in car for transport to gigs.
2. On the front side edge of the qanun (which faces the player), there is one square mar on the finish where the adhesive marred the finish when the previous pickup was removed. That pickup has been replaced with a professional K&K Sound Big Twin Spot. kksound website has technical specs on this pickup.
3. Instrument is in excellent condition, but it shows normal signs of regular playing and use. For example, the finish on tuning pegs show normal signs of wear from use as is visible from the photos.
