Odd that the pickguard covers the small sound hole decoration. You will need to see how much the face repairs will cost you. No rosette means you can
check for loose bracing. Bridge looks a little primitive. If I were buying this oud I would check the action and the pegs. If these are ok I would
make an offer based on its sound and playability. On looks alone I would be surprised if the seller was asking more than 3 hundred Euros but I could
be completely wrong. If it sounds well then decide what you are prepared to pay for such a sound. Good luck. C

Indeed, take really care to the action on this kind of old oud, also to the size of the bowl. On arabic oud, it may be quite big and a bit
uncomfortable to play.

Bye it :-)
For 75 euros, I'ld bye it and hang it on the wall! It is a nice peace for decoration :')
When it comes to playing, it is much better to bye a NEW oud. Quality on new ouds is by far much better then just 20 years ago. It will cost you more
to repare it, and will never be as good as the new modern ones.
Good luck

Sure, for this price it may be an interested deal.
Difficult to judge by pictures, but it seems nice.
By the way, I didn't saw your location before...I send you U2U.

C'est vrai que it's a good deal!
Pour 75 euros tu n'as rien à perdre et tu pourras toujours l'améliorer s'il est difficilement jouable.
I have an old syrian "tourist" oud on which I try some improvements. C'est utile aussi pour piger le fonctionnement de ces petites bêtes
ventrues.....
Et certains (es) sur ce forum en ont vu défiler beaucoup alors ils ont des yeux affûtés et trouvent les racines!!!

Bienvenue au club des heureux possesseurs de oud cassé.
Qu'y a t il eu d'endommagé sur ton instrument durant le transport? Avec l'experience d'autres membres du forum tu trouveras peut être une solution
assez simple pour y remedier.

ca me fait vraiment de la peine pour ce oud;
il a traversé les ages; et ce retrouve avec la touche; la jonction de la tete et du manche; et la boule a l'arriere cassé; par des
incompetents

J'ai eu à peu près le même problème sur un oud commandé cet été......Ne t'inquiète pas , c'est tout à fait réparable bien que ce soit très
dépaisant et démoralisant de recevoir un instrument dans cet état.....
Il était bien emballé? Il semble qu'il ait subi deux chocs différents....
Pense tout de suite à faire valoir l'assurance s'il y en a une en faisant tout d'abord constater le plus rapidement possible si ce n'est déjà
fait.....
Et après, bonne chance.
Si tu as besoin de plus de renseignements pour les démarches, n'hésite pas à demander.

Going back to english... how it could have been damaged to this point?
Was it shipped in a hard case or in a simple gig bag ?
I think for the neck you will find information to repair it in the forum.
For the bowl I don't really know how you can fix it. I mean it is quite easy to fill the crack, but the best would be to make the ribs closer and glue
them together, but I don't know if there is a technique for that.
At least one good point is the face wasn't damaged, so the repair shall not affect the sound of your instrument, even the crack of the bowl I
think.
Good luck.

merci francis; oui il etait bien emballé; dans un carton certes; mais entouré de poches d'air; avec la mention fragile; protégé par un matelat
en mousse;
j'ai confié le oud a mon prof qui va consulter son luthier pour une reparation
suz; yes it was shipped with a simple cardboard bag; but a lot of protection inside;
if the transporter maked attention of the package; it will never be broken;
i am going to repair it by a oud maker
thanks for your post
