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.Jody Stecher - 1-27-2015 at 10:14 PM
On the ebay listing if you scroll down just a bit this oud is listed as a gravy boat!!!hartun - 1-28-2015 at 03:18 PM
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.
