Hi all,

Not without some heartache I'm putting one of my babies up for sale.

It's a great quality Romanian cobza (the oud's little brother). Made from spruce and maple, it's nylon strung (although it works perfectly with steelstrings as well) and can be shipped worldwide.

It's in fantastic condition and a really gorgeous piece of work. As I do not have the means to record samples at the moment, have a look at this, as it demonstrates it's sound fairly well:

The listing is up on eBay and can be found HERE

Thanks for looking, and if you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me.

Cheers!

Whoa! Fixed bridge *and * "floating" bridge. Lovely instrument.

:) thank you! It's quite nice indeed. Though a spanish guitar essentially has the same setup, as do the mandolin and bouzouki
