Now that you mention it Elie, the bowl of this oud is quite lute-like. It resembles the slender teardrop shape used by makers like Maler and Frei in
the 1540s - it is also known as the Bologna shape, because that is where these makers were based. I doubt whether there is any connection between this
oud and a lute, though.
Nice find, Ronny. |
