Who knows the turkish luthier Ilhan Cakan from Istanbul. I bought an Oud from him (ebay) and want to contact him

Wow this is a really old forum. Either way. I bought my first oud from Lark in the morning (their professional Turkish model) back in 2003 and the
name on the inside of the oud is Ilhan Cakan along with an e-mail and instrument number saying it was made 1-2-2003. The e-mail inside the oud is
www.Ilhancakan@ixir.com. --> not a typo. Not sure if that works. ixir.com is a deadlink now.
It actually is a pretty amazing instrument although in retrospect, I could have done a little more research first. Hope that helps. How did you
like that Oud. I'll post a picture of mine if you;re still active on these forums
