Strange looking rossettes

This oud is probably commercial, but the rossettes are nice. Haven't seen this look before on an oud.

Too many soundholes for an oud. I think the idea here, is to market the instrument based on looks but not preserve the integrity of the sound. It might be interesting if it were with 2 narrower f-holes and no round holes at all.

I would rate it 2 tuning pegs out of 12, 2 for trying to be different. :D
