This Cumbus looks/sounds great Sylvain.
I cannot believe that you have run into the issue of your beautiful OUD's being counterfeited already. WOW. Those knock-offs are of such lower presentation quality, and no doubt, workmanship.
We have a saying in English, which you probably have the same in French, "Imitation is the best form of flattery"/"imiter est la meilleure forme de flatterie", but I think this only works for some things in life, and certainly not with OUDS...but regardless, I hope people realize to go to the true source!
Cheers,
Matt

Thank you dear Matt
Unfortunately yes I have some true counterfeits .... Oud world is not the world of peace and respectfull sure ... There is a dark oud war world unknown in fact ^^ ...
But I hope as you say that "people realize to go to the true source!"
Thanks again
