Judging by the rosettes, it looks like a Sabri Ender oud. I believe he's from Ankara.

be carefull because many of those rosettes are wholesale made and used by many makers.
but anyways for sure its turkish. looks nice too. ask for a sound sample and see if you like it.
ask for a picture of the action where the neck meets the body.

Thanks folks,
Tchandler
I asked the seller to send me an image of the label, so we can see who the maker is.
Thanks,
SamiCanada,
Salam akhi, yes it looks nice but as you said ones cannot be sure about ebay sellers. the seller is about 45 miles drive I'm planing to pay him a
visit and check it out myself.

michoud,

Me too. I´m sure that is turkish...

Thank you Dr. Tayfun,
I am still waiting for the label photo, and that will confirm.

Can you please gave the string length of your oud. In Arab ouds string length is usually greater than 58.5 cm. Classic Turkish ouds have strictly 58.5
cm string length. Maybe this can be a clue for you.
