help with choosing case

LoveLightPeace - 9-5-2012 at 04:57 PM

im thinking of buying this case for my future oud which is still in the works (it is an arabic oud). can someone please take a quick peak at the following case i found on ebay and tell me if its big enough, because i myself dont understand the measurements written in the description of the Ad!

here is the item number of it, just copy and paste this in ebay's search box and it'll take you to the Ad:
270809376501


Thanks!

The soft case will only protect the finish from being scratched. It is no protection against damage to the oud. I'd recommend this one instead 290769041585, although it is stil not the best protection. For the best protection you need a plywood shell case, custom made to fit your oud. I can make one for you if you have interest.

Arabic ouds come in many different sizes. You need to compare the case measurements with your oud.
