Cool picture Spyros. Take a look at this oud. I'm not sure if it is still available or not, but it looks lovely.

For a moment I thought the oud in the picture was fretted, until I realised that it was more likely to be a cunning inlay. This is my personal taste,
but I like the look of these old school ouds with their short fingerboards and symmetrical scratchplates.

Bagpipe
Unfortunately (or fortunately, rather) I don't, Zul, and I'm sure my neighbours are thanking me for it!

I have a bagpipe from in Shiraz, Iran. It's called Neyhamboun or Hambouneh there. It's the same as to these, only elaborately decorated-

Do you think the inlay Nadjarian used on his ouds were to act as frets or were they just design??

Do the lines tally with the intonation on your Nadjarian? The spacing between the lines does appear to get smaller as you go up the neck.

To be honest, I don't know, the Nadjarian was never mine in the first place, it belongs to my teacher... but I'll try it out after it's
restored!
