Hi everyone! I've been learning the oud for about 1 and a half years now. This is the oud that I acquired recently. Does anyone have any information about the maker?

Wow! That's great to know! I actually got it from my teacher's student who brought it back from Tunisia. I was told that it was made by 3 brothers who lived far away from the city. I got it for £450. It's not a concert-level model but it sounded good enough at my level of playing:)

I'm originally from Singapore and I'm studying at School of Oriental and African Studies in London. I learnt the oud as part of a module that I took.

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone could identify the wood of the bowl of this Haddad oud.
