Hi everyone. Im going to be spending a week in north new jersey about an hour west of nyc. I brought my oud and it needs a good setup. Can someone recommend a good repairman? Im close to morristown if anyone knows the area. Thanks!

You can contact Najib Shaheen: www.oudman.com

Haig Manoukian is also good, from what others tell me.

Try to find Master Manoukian,he is a great person to deal with and he really knows the oud.
Regards and Good luck

Thanks guys! I contacted Mr. Shaheen and left a message, but I can't seem to find Master Manoukian's contact information...anyone have any ideas?

Also, if there are any luthiers in NJ, that would be better since driving to NYC can be a pain in the butt this time of year and it would take me an hour and a half each way.

Haig Manoukian's contact number is: 212.777.4396

I take all my ouds to him when they need repair, he is great and very thoughtful and innovative.

Leave him a message and he'll get back to you, though sometimes it takes a while.

Take care,
