Veyselmuzik shows a turkish oud made by Armenak Kalfayan (Ud - 1826)

The bowl is curious, never seen the ribs ending in the middle of the bowl like a navel.

I asked about the same oud and got some information from Jonathan. See Kevork Mazloomian thread at Oud projects forum March 11-12.

I would still be interested if somebody knows mizrapli tanburs with this construction...

thanks, Arto
