I need some solid advice about where I should buy a oud. I have been playing guitar for about 4 years so my fingers are adjusted to stringed
instruments. I would like to buy something nice that with good sound, not a toy.
I currently have an oud but it untunes very easily and I think it is low quality. I have never played any other oud.
What should I get and where?
