Best fixed bridge oud under 1000$

Hey guys
I need your recommendations. I tried to contact Faruk Turunz for a reduced price but he is not answering.
There was one by Fares Jehad for 800$ but I'm really not sure if it's wise to buy a fixed bridge from an Iraqi luthier. I mean I have seen a video of that but still...
any recommendation is appreciated

Thank u
I've seen some of his ouds in Iran. Fares and Leith Jehad are absolutely better options.

Hi,

I don't understand why you are hesitant to buy a fixed bridge oud from an Iraqi builder, they are considered the best in the arab world not just for floating bridge ouds. you should contact faik fadhel of Iraq, I'm not sure of his prices but they may be close to $1000.

Well I haven't ever touched a fixed bridge Iraqi oud and a very good Iraqi friend advised me not to buy fixed bridges from Iraqis. He recommended Faruk Turunz and Yildirim Palabiyik. Also I'm buying for my GF and she doesn't like Iraqi ouds so much.
Anyway, if you have Faik's contact details, please share with me.

I'm not sure how current this info is, this is from him website faikfadhel.com. If you end up inquiring about his ouds please share any info!
