Hello,
I got my oud in 2001. It was nearly 200 USD.
My friend bought to me. She was in Turkey on a summer music and dance course. Some Turkish musicians helped her choose. So with their help she cuold get it cheeper.
Now many things is changing in Turkey. I heard the prices are higher.
I think you will find some good oud for you.

I took some photo about my instument. The size of picutres is too big.
I have to minimise and I am going to put here soon.
Bye.

The oud I posted about yesterday was made in Izmir. Maybe you can look up that oud maker to see if he's still in business. http://mikeouds.com/messageboard/viewthread.php?tid=3392
