It is faked oud .....
Moh. Fadel oud is distenwished for long time ago.
I have seen about 25 Moh. Fadel ouds, and all of them faked.
I know one guy, who has orignal Moh. Fadel Oud and that because he bought it back in 1973 from Cairo but from an iraqi guy used to live there. It is
really nice oud, it has wide body and very dry Rose wood. Stringe length 57 cm from the float bridge.
I ask the guy if want to sell it. And his answer was "F--- ---" 
Thanks

well lets just hope that people realise that its very hard for someone to make an oud from the grave :P
You would think that they would at least just call it a copy .

I have one exact oud like that.
ITs made by abdulhalim oud house in Egypt. Its a fake there is no question about that.
I bought it for this nice price to take around and play in picknicks. ITs a verry nice oud actualy. the action is at a perfect hight and the wood is a
nice walnut. Iam in the process of removing the finish on the face although it sounds not bad with it on allready.
I made a video for it a while ago...
