Looking to buy a left-handed oud

umetik - 2-15-2010 at 11:51 AM

I'm looking to buy a left-handed oud, preferably in the middle price range. I can't find any lefty ouds for sale anywhere, so I wonder if there is no way around having one custom-made.
Any offers, suggestions, ideas?

Thanks!

As leftie, i decided to buy a right hand instrument, and then reverse the strings excepted the last one, it is much easier and you can choose from a lot of instruments...:)

Thanks for the tip. I actually thought about that, and now that I see that there's people who have faired well like that, I will think about it a little more...:)

What did you find (he asked, with prurient interest) ? vaseline-lens Pictures? Sound Files?

Sorry Fernand, no vaseline-lens pictures yet nor sound files. I also don't want to make everybody jealous...:)
Got it through a friend of a friend, the best way
