For some reason I cant seem to make the pictures appear like everyone else can???

Hello people,
I am new to the Oud world and to this forum. I have recently acquired an odu belonging to a family friend but know nothing about them or the one I have. I have taken a few pics and read the sticker inside the instrument - which says it was made in Cairo and also says Dandash and Walid Hamido. But these do not mean anything to me and i would really appreciate some help from anyone who can tell me more about the instrument. I think it must be out of tune and would like to know how to tune also. Is my oud a nice one, a beginner one, a professional one???????

Many thanks and i eagerly await any replys

Sounds like much odu about nothing! :D

The maker is not known. I think it's a mediocre kind of professional oud. Though a nice one.
Enjoy it :)
