hi hakeem
if you are located in the EU you can buy this one.
it seems that it is from ALTO in Izmir it is a nice oud to start with.
but don't pay too much it is a "semi-pro" one
my best wishes

Hi Hakeem
I would never buy an oud from Ebay unless I knew the seller personally or could check their reputation. There are plenty of other places that you buy
a reasonably priced beginner's oud - for example, from Maurice Shehata (Arabic style) or Haluk Eraydin (Turkish style).
Best wishes
David

Why not check the buy and sell forrum. You Can trust the majority of the members that are on mikeouds.com
And you can ask as many questions as you want about the ouds there selling and in most cases they will be able to awnser you adequatly since they
usualy know a lot about ouds. Ebay sellers in majority Dont have a clue what there selling this is why they write a bunch of false advertisements
points to make the sale but dont fall for it. Unless of course you know its someone from here that has the oud on ebay.
