What do you think about this oud?


Can anybody recognize the maker of this oud? The seller just says it comes from Tunisia.
Thank u all guys, ciao, Giuseppe.

RE: The neck


The neck of that oud seems longer than normal, or is it just me imagining?



Kind Regards,

Mood: what?

ciao peppeo -

the sound board seems to have a glossy finish to it - i've always understood that to be a no-no.

it's difficult to judge how something will sound, based on photos but if you're interested, i would advise you to ask for more detailed photos - the peg box in particular.

just my opinion but i think he's asking too much money for it.

ciao - bill

This looks like a good oud. The soundboard is finished but it seems like the finish used is of good quality. Like the ones you would find on a good quality guitar. It also doesnt look like the finish is too too thick.
The workmanship of it reminds me of the Hijazi ( higazi) ouds from Alexandria posted here.
