Interesting sound and instrument! Does it have a metal bowl, like cumbus? Looks like a cumbus with metal strings and fingerboard.

Ha ha! Yes!

I am actually selling it for a measly 200 beans:) ...I am at my Mom's here in Vancouver for another 3 weeks before heading back to the EU --- she's aging and might have to move soon, so I am digging thru mountains of great old instruments I would be wise to deal with now rather than later...

The bowl is made from metal and wood... here are some small photos.

If anyone has serious interest I have more detailed fotos ---

It would be good for an oud player who might have interest in dabling in Indian music without committing to a big investment.
