Very much so - this sort of instrument was played in medieval spain, hence Andalusian oud, from Al-Andalus.

Please tell us what kind of wood it is made from. The tuning pegs look like maple (Acer) and I've never seen commercially made pegs of maple. Did you make these too?

Way cool--love the classic shape and homage to a significant style of instrument.
