ud kopuz
http://casaturcabcn.es/curso-de-ud-kopuz/
I just found that ? never heard of before ?
translated in english
"the Ud / Kopuz is a 11 string plucked instrument (...) the only difference between the Kopuz y the oud is that the former has a slightly smaller body
which is covered by a lamb skin"

There are instruments with similar names all over the world. Generally they have a similar shape. Sometimes the entire body is made from one piece of
wood. A bowl made from ribs is not a typical feature of this instrument family. Kobza in Romania and Ukraine. Kopuz in Turkey. The Kyrgyz call it
Kumuz and it has sacred status. There is even a version in Madagascar called Kabosi that has taken on guitar-like features.

Thanks!
I will share with my teacher who is very interested in such instruments.

this *particular* one seems to be an oud/kopuz hybrid. I have no idea what the sheepskin is all about.

Yes.
Anyone know anything about the sheepskin, or how long this weird hybrid has been in existence?

It seems like this is referring to the qanbus, which is like an ancestral oud, however it did not have 11 strings. It did, however, have leather
instead of a soundboard. HG Farmer talks about it a bit. Apparently, it can still be found in Yemen.

Wierd. Just clicked the link and read it. The strange thing is that the description of the class is talking about the Turkish version, but still
calling it the ancestor of oud. It seems to be nothing more than a Turkish version of the old barbat.
