I have little knowledge of this type of instrument with heavy mosaic work, but the general consensus seems to be that they are usually better in looks
than in sound.
I was hoping the German text would provide more information on the instrument, but it doesn't say much:
This is a beautiful hand-made oud with a dark strong, clear sound. 73 cm in length and 37 cm wide. The Oud was used in the recording studio and
will be delivered together with hard case. The oud is in very good condition.
I had a look at the other products recently sold by the seller and it appears he (or she) specializes in inexpensive musical instruments - clarinets,
electric guitars, violin bows etc. I would suggest caution in accepting his or her assessment of the quality of this instrument.
But hey, I am regularly wrong. This may be a very fine instrument. Hopefully somebody on the forum will recognise the make and give you some "real"
advice.
Regards,
Greg

To me it seems over priced for this type of instrument.
