Hi guys,
I'm new here. I wonder if anyone of you is from the Netherlands? I'm learning to play the oud since a couple of weeks, but it's not going well. I've
searched in like every store for books about the oud but I didn't find any 
Maybe one of you guys can help me out? Internetstuff for beginners is also welcome 
Thnq you!

Hi Hans!
Thanks for your replay :) Hmm, well i actually live in Rotterdam, but since this is an international forum i thought it's smarter to have Amsterdam as
my location ;).
I searched for mister Polat on youtube and I do like his music, especially "You're not alone". Do you know if he gives lessons on FaceTime/Skype?

i will ask him. If i am not mistaken he's going to teach at the rotterdam conservatory in the near future, so then you could meet him in rotterdam.

I do think there is a kurdish oud player in rotterdam, he plays in the nishtiman ensemble, maybe he gives lessons too

I hope you're right about mister Polat teaching in Rotterdam. Thanks in advance for asking him.
Do you mean Goran Kamil? I'm not sure if he gives lessons, so I'll send him an e-mail and ask about it.
I hoop to hear from you soon about mister Polat. Have a nice sunday:)

And yes, i meant goran kamil!
