Looking for Oud in Australia

Hey gang,

It's been a few years since I've owned an Oud but I've got some cash sitting here waiting to be spent on an Oud or a Lavta because I've been lacking both of those in my life as of late.

Anyone in Australia have one of the above for sale?? Or anyone with the ability to ship here have one?

Hi,

I have two Model 3 ouds from the late Haluk Eraydin.
They are both new (unplayed), but have been with me since July 2006.
It's a long story as to how I ended up with them, but they were shipped to Australia in an unfinished state by Haluk and then the "luthier/buyer" didn't proceed with the purchase. So I bought them to save Haluk having to ship them back to Turkey. We finished both ouds using Tru-Oil, but there is still a little work to be done on one of the fingerboards that someone bevelled on one side (perhaps the luthier/buyer). Please U2U me for full details, photos and, if you are interested, a price to buy both at a VERY good price.

Regards,

Greg (Brisbane)

Try to contact SamirCanada please. He is an active member in the forum.
He is a nice guy. If he has no ouds, he could at least advise.
Cheers,

thanks Omar, I appreciate it but I don't think I could help all the way in Australia.

Greg that story is wild! I would snap those up if I were you jekksjekks.
