im currently in morocco and want to browse,i was recently in casa blanca;tangiers;marrakesh.essouria.i found a few shops selling ouds and one maker in the tangier medina.unfortunately i decided not to buy anything until i reached agadir,what a mistake as it seems there is no instrument shops in this city from what ive seen ,asking a local is tricky as i dont speak arabic french or the berber dialect.anyone help me out ?

Hi,

just a further thought ... Khalid Belhaiba is one of the best oud luthiers in Morocco (located in Casablanca) ... I would ask him, if he currently has an oud ready for selling.

I bet, you can't get a better oud in Morocco, than one of his ... they have a fantastic sound!

But I don't know about potential language problems.
