Watch out with those olive wood pegs!!!!!
especialy the bass G
that case is similar to mine!!
is the finger board inlaid?
is the pegbox beech?

I know exactly what you mean bu playing it first, but no, this one i bought directly from Egypt, (i live in NY) but my friend played it their and said it was built well, that was my main concern, and he said it dosent hurt your leg when you play on it

hurt your legs?

How does a oud hurt your leg? Does he mean that its not so heavy? Please explain

Because when He sat down with his old oud, when he sat and played for a while it made a mark on his leg

Unless the oud is incredibly heavy, I am guessing that has more to do with his technique than with the oud.
