Hello everyone, this is my first post and I'm also looking for my first Oud. I'm definitely looking for a brand new Oud and one that is of good
quality. Not really looking to much in the budget range and I have a limit that is around $1000 USD. Can anyone point me in the right direction, to a
reputable quality Oud seller/dealer? Any advice and or help is greatly appreciated. I am completely new to this market and instrument so please
understand where I am coming from. JassimbinMater - 5-17-2020 at 12:47 PM
For $1000 dollars you should be able to get a really good intermediate oud. I would recommend an Ibrahim Sukkar oud, they’re relatively cheap, good
quality and have a great soundHaBeginner - 5-17-2020 at 12:59 PM

Appreciate the recommendation. I looked into that name and the only thing I can find are cheap Ouds ($400 range) and some Syrian ouds. I am currently
looking for an arabic oud thats of good quality. Seems tough to find. Jody Stecher - 5-18-2020 at 06:05 AM
Some of the best Arabic ouds have been and still are made in Syria or by Syrians living elsewhere.JassimbinMater - 5-18-2020 at 01:12 PM
You mean Sukkar’s standard ouds- they are cheap, but they are better quality than a lot of $1000 ouds you’ll find out there. Some of his special
models go up to $750 if you order directly from him. If you get them from a reseller they can go upwards of a $1000. And yes they’re Syrian ouds,
your comment seems to imply that you don’t consider Syrian ouds arabic ouds? Do you mean egyptian ouds specifically? It might be hard to find just
because a lot of the makers don’t have an online english language presence. Where are you located by the way, there might be some stores near you.Moh_42539 - 5-19-2020 at 05:50 AM
