Just found the web of medieval music group Cinco siglos.
They show photos for many of their ancient instruments. Ouds are made by Belhaiba Khaled.

Thanks for posting this. Khaled Belhaiba has made nice ouds for Said Chraibi, which he plays on his albums. I didn't know he also tried his hand at
reproductions of medieval instruments. I visited his workshop in Casablanca - it was such a messy and decrepit place you couldn't imagine beautiful
instruments coming out of it. The ouds I tried out in his shop were decent and reasonably priced, and certainly superior to most of the locally made
ouds I saw in Morocco.

Does anyone know how to contact Belhaiba Khaled?
I would love to have a laud Morisco to play the "Cantigas de Santa Maria".
