Yigit Zengin ouds

Anyone have any experience with Yigit Zengin ouds? He's from Izmir, Turkey and his ouds are beautiful but other than an Instagram that hasn't been updated in a long time, I can't find much about him.

I know Nazih Borish plays his ouds and speaks highly about them.

He also has a Facebook page. The one video I could find sounded good...

While googling him, I came across this directory of Turkish oud makers. Not sure how up to date it is or if all of them are currently active, but there were a few people making nice looking/sounding ouds that I hadn't heard of before.

I found that website a few days ago and it's very interesting! Many luthiers I did not know about.

His ouds sound great and I spoke to one person who spoke very highly of he and his ouds, was just curious if others had any more info about him.
