Having played this oud last weekend, I must vouch for it ease of play and great finish.

The new owner will be a lucky one.

Thanks alfaraby. Najib Shaheen gave me one of these rings, I had it scanned and etched to about a millimeter of depth and fill it with the color of my choice.. a method I will employ more in the future with varies designs.
