Cumbus prices

Hello again,

I've been trying to budget for my trip to Istanbul, and I'm trying to figure out if I'll have enough left over for a cumbus. Does anyone know how much the Chumbus family is charging for a standard cumbus these days? (I haven't been able to access http://www.cumbusmusic.com)

Thanks,

-Peter

I bought a cumbus saz from the family shop, Fethi cumbus served me. If you play for a while in there, talk with them (they are really nice people), then they should knock off a bit of the price for you. He brought my cumbus saz from 140 to 100 bucks.

I reckon you'd get a standard cumbus for $90 american, maybe even less.
They aren't expensive if you buy them from the maker. Other shops are.
