Thank u all guys, ciao, Giuseppe.

The neck of that oud seems longer than normal, or is it just me imagining?
peppeo77 - 3-8-2006 at 02:44 PM
Yes! I think is longer too. I think I must contact the owner...
Ciao, Peppeo

ciao peppeo -
the sound board seems to have a glossy finish to it - i've always understood that to be a no-no.
it's difficult to judge how something will sound, based on photos but if you're interested, i would advise you to ask for more detailed photos - the
peg box in particular.
just my opinion but i think he's asking too much money for it.
ciao - bill

This looks like a good oud. The soundboard is finished but it seems like the finish used is of good quality. Like the ones you would find on a good
quality guitar. It also doesnt look like the finish is too too thick.
The workmanship of it reminds me of the Hijazi ( higazi) ouds from Alexandria posted here.
