I think those are inlayed markers in the fingerboard, not frets.

No there are real gut frets

Here is another video with the same oud

at 51 : 29 you can see the back of the neck, with the tied frets

Very beautiful music, thanks for sharing

Very pretty - it's funny that the oud player stands up to play just as the singer says the words "I sat down..."

Thank you for sharing! Lovely! So cool that this music is being performed by mostly non-Greeks, and so well.
