Oud Bowl to build a Lute

yorch1 - 5-14-2020 at 05:34 PM

Dear friends,
This is my very first post, so nice to meet you all!
I am going to build a baroque lute but with an Oud Bowl as starting point.
I am driving me crazy trying to find some luthier who can sell me the bowl only. Any of you know something about it? Any contact?
I know that all luthiers have bowls around their workshop one of those is what I am looking for.
Many thank in advance!
Kind regards from the UK (but I am from Spain)
Hugs!

I don't know about specific makers, but I actually happened to see this yesterday:

https://www.ethnicmusical.com/shop/bowl-tekne-part-for-making-arabic...

There's other bowls available on that site if you search for "oud bowl" or something similar. I guess another option would be to look for a broken or low-quality oud with a decent bowl and use that as a starting point.
