I'm selling my 1,5 year old Turkish oud which I've bought in Izmir. There is a label inside which give you some information about the luthier. The
name of the luthiers are "Vefa Aldemir" and "Ahmet Topan". They shorten their names to ALTO. There is a date registered on the label: 01.06.2011 which
is most likely the date of manifacture. The action on the neck-body-joint is 2,5-3mm like you can see on the photo. The string length is: 585mm.
I've recorded some videos and sound recordings so you can have an impression of the sound.
I can also put the oud on ebay so you can buy it there if you feel more safe that way. By the way I live in Germany, Cologne.
The price is 350$ + shipping costs depending on the country you live in.
