Doesn't look like a real Fadel to me. Bashir floating bridge style but not the real deal.

Is a real mess ;) Mohammed had difficult time at the end of his life and his son Omar was very bad to him - had him arrested....Omar took care for the faking of his ouds, faked numbers (dated back in time) and faked signatures etc. but an expert of Fadel ouds, who have played his ¨own¨ works, seen the different labels should be able to recognise authentic pieces. I need to point out that Yaroub Fadel had nothing to do with the filthy work done by some of his brothers in Iraq.
There's one guy in Iraq who has the orginal moulds from Fadel's workshop and he was also learning oud building at his workshop. This guy is said to be a master to build faked Fadel's.....
