Try to meet Khalid Belhaiba, his workshop is in Casablanca ...
... and his ouds seem to be the best in Morocco. Sabbassi here from the forums showed me his Belhaiba oud and it is a fantastic instrument.
HERE is a video of one of his ouds. Check THIS, THIS and THIS out too.Mehran - 2-21-2010 at 06:45 PM

I don't know ... wait 'til Sabbassi answeres or contact Khalid directly by email or phone ... see above link to his homepage. But as far as I know, he
doesn't speak English, only French.Mehran - 2-22-2010 at 03:13 AM
I assume correctly that he speaks arabic though?Aymara - 2-22-2010 at 04:06 AM
He is a man from Morocco ... what's the native language there?
Sorry ... I'm just a bad informed German
Write a U2U to Sabbassi, who is a personal friend of Khalid and can answer all your questions.Mehran - 2-22-2010 at 09:40 AM
Sorry a misunderstanding, i thought you said he only spoke french, nothing else, perhaps that will be easier anyway, because i find moroccan arabic
really hard to understand.
