I have one and like it very much. Very solidly built. And it sounds nice. Issa Boulos also plays a Sukar. You can see him playing it on the videos page.

Isa also told me it takes a few years for it to be a superb instrument because it may buzz in its early years.

I also heard if you go to syria and bargain, you will get great deals.

the only reason its buzzing in is early years is because the action is too low, of course over 2 yrs time the action will lift because of the pressure making less of a buzz.

make what you will of this comment.
