Nice natural finish, surprisingly beautiful woods, the lacewood tuning pegs work smoothly, the nut is well-done and the action is very nice right out of the box. The sound is full-bodied and resonant; the instrument has a good dynamic response, and overall feels very good.
I really like the slightly longer scale length and the simple looks. Mine came with bird motif rosettes (glued-on cardboard?), unlike in the pictures, but I tore them off, and actually think removing them might have made the sound ever so slightly better.
All in all I am very pleased with this oud, considering the price range of course.
If you're looking for an affordable Arabic type oud in Europe, I think this one might be a smart option - especially considering that Thomann is such a trustworthy seller!
