ouds merchants


hello, everyone
Thanks Mike for your intervention about the luthiers and the freedom of expression, I agree with you, we must make every effort to protect the reputation of our great oud makers, but I also think we shoud respect wahid' view, he is perhaps trying to send a serious message.Should we not protect beginners? A few years ago, a very famous musician took advantage of a young naive lady who did not know anything about arab ouds to realy cheat her. And He got away with it..I thank you again for your comment but I have in mind the fact that celebrities should not think they can cheat vulnerable people and get away with it on the ground that they are known and loved...It would be a great error and perhaps the beginning of the end for music .I love Wissam Joubran, Salim

Point taken Salim. Luckily, enough information is out there nowadays to protect the beginners. It is unfortunate that people still are getting taken. In this particular instance though, I find it hard to believe that indirect attacks were not being taken. Anyway, hopefully potential buyers will do their due diligence and research before buying.
All the best,
mike
