Hello dear friends,
Maybe I will visit Athens for few days in April. Are there good oud makers and\or shops there, a part form well known Dimitri Rapakousis?
Thank you!spartan - 3-18-2015 at 11:01 PM
Hello,
Dimitris Rapakousios makes tailor-made high quality ouds. He makes beautiful arabic ouds also. He sells some old antique ouds (Manol etc) https://www.youtube.com/user/rapakodi/videos
Apart from Dimitri, most makers are not specialised in ouds, but in bouzouki
By the way if you want we can play together if you come in Athens (I will not be in athens during the Easter holidays though)danieletarab - 3-20-2015 at 06:29 AM

Buongiorno, Daniele,
I just pulled this info off the internet (greece.com), and I haven't been in Athens for a decade, I don't now how up-to-date the info is. When I was
there, I got great CDs from Metropolis, including from the one in the Athens airport. They had Nikos Saragoudas' "Iones"!
During the crisis, many stores closed down, Metropolis includeddanieletarab - 3-23-2015 at 12:05 PM
Ok lads!
I made the ticket. I will be in Athens from April 6th to 10th.
I would like to meet any oud (or nay, qanun, percussions) player from Athens, and get any useful information about intresting concerts, shops and
