"This won't take long, did it?" gosh, that's beautiful. What do you reckon that wooden doodad below the bridge is for?

Doodad

The doodad is for the strap. The other end attaches to the pegbox

I thought it might be for attaching a small microphone. Either way I would think it would affect the sound of the oud.

On the ebay listing if you scroll down just a bit this oud is listed as a gravy boat!!!

Hi guys, a close friend of mine just purchased this oud. Can anyone confirm if the Ottoman has a date written in the label? Freya suggested 1910? The Armenian just has the name Arshag Keoseyan.
