New to playing instruments in general, need some answers on oud.

First, Is there a difference in sound between ouds with just 1 circular sound hole versus the ouds with 1 big sound hole and 2 other smaller sound holes on the side?Second, is there a difference between having a 12 strings Arabic oud with 2 C strings versus the more common 11 stringed Arabic oud with just 1 C string? I got a oud that came with 12 strings because it had 2 C strings, should i take one of those strings off? if so the left or right one? That is all for now,Thank You.
