What about Ouds in Amazon.com?

Nummuliit - 5-25-2005 at 02:05 PM

But what do you think about ouds that are for sale in amazon.com? Has anybody ever heard some instruments from there or are those just for looking?

Maybe this one:

DON'T EVEN THINK OF BUYING THAT PARTICULAR OUD!

They are made in Pakistan and are the worst quality imaginable. Several people made that mistake and their reports are unanimously bad !

Decide if you want a Turkish, Arabic, or Iraqi style and go from there. Many good makers patronize this forum, Shehata, Haluk, Ghadban, etc. For $ 500 you can get a beginners oud from them.

Good luck

TO ME any 3ood that is mass produced is more like a tourist 3ood ...i recommend not buying anything like that online...unless u know the oud fits u. i do recommend shehata ouds or some from our forums by haluk. but thats particular oud not even worth 200$.. good luck
