Turkish ouds

Hello gents,
How would you classify Dincer, Dimitris and Yildirim ouds in terms of sound quality and workmanship. I own a Turünz oud (which is a thing of beauty and perfection) and would like to have further experiments with turkish ouds.
Thanks in advance

Yildirim ouds are very nice.

I played a Yidirim oud, it was an excellent instrument. Clear, dynamic, well equilibrate. It was tuned arabic, and was perfect for modern playing. Check for exemple Tareq Jundi recordings, it will give you a better idea rather than trying to define the sound.
Dincer and Dimitri, I heard very nice things, but never had an occasion to try.
Toward turkish makers, I have also a preference for Huseyin AKtel and Mustafa Copcuoglu works.
