Hi, everyone.
Just recently moved to NYC and looking to upgrade my Oud -- Anyone know what stores carry ouds? or independent sellers on this forum in NYC area?
Thanks,

For Arabic ouds, Najib Shaheen has the best ouds available in NYC. http://www.oudman.com.
For mid-grade ouds, Hanna Hanna's store Bellydance America in midtown often has some decent ouds, but since you said you're looking to 'upgrade', I'd
recommend Najib.

You could also head an hour north of the city to Beacon, NY to see luthier John Vergara at his new shop, Lord of the Strings.

John's ouds are very good, worth a trip!
