Hi Shareen
I have placed a bid for this oud subject to me testing it because the location is only a few miles away from my house so i can get there easily and check it out if it is geniune or not with the help of an expert , if he accepts the bid.
I dont have a very good feeling about the oud or the seller ,there used to be aguy selling ouds on ebay and most of his ouds wasn't geniune , he was found out and go some negative feed back, I think he uses this seller now to sell his ouds theough , because the description of the ouds, the terms and location is the same,
we will see

I Hama and Shareen
to me, that oud has nothing that maybe reminds a fadel, the back seams of a turk oud (number of ribs, pattern and woods) and in general is a new oud, not an old one
and for the change of name.. look at here
