Info on Aram Papazian

ArmoOudist - 12-19-2020 at 06:55 PM

Hey there,
I was wondering if anyone had any info on the Armenian oud luthier Aram Papazian.
All I know is that he was originally from Smyrna (modern Izmir) in Turkey before relocating to Athens during the population exchange after the Turkish war of Independence. He also made Bouzoukis and classical guitars.
A lot of info on these luthiers is lost to history, but if anyone had any info, that would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Have no idea but would be interested to hear what you turn up!

There was a famous Udi Kuchuk Sarkis who went to Greece from Istanbul and later moved to Armenia.
