Looks kind of weird having your picture on your oud. Just my opinion...

A lot of oud makers unfortunately have vulgar taste, or they do what ever for the $$.......one maker in Syria was trying to add XX amount of money to add my name to the soundhole ornamentation..... I strongly refused........The picture is a silly addition and a poor taste on the behalf of the maker..(Personal Opinion)....

I wish the extra money goes for a better construction and sound projection/ balance rather than personalizing...

I would personally pay more for better sound quality rather than personalisation. Unless if i am a pro one day ensha allah and i am much sorted for, by then i can also afford the extra personalisation then i think it might be an advantage!
