buying a turkish oud in Israel

Benjamin - 1-16-2007 at 11:38 AM

Do you know guys where I could buy a turkish oud here in Israel? If somebody in Israel has one and sell it, I could be interested as well. I just can't buy an expensive one. I want to buy it so as to play with friend cause playing all the time on the arabic oud with a capo is not that nice:(.

Shalom to all and shalom lekha Sammy!
What do you mean by "J town": Jerusalem. In the shuq are there really instruments? I thought this is only decoration stuff, that you can't play with. 100 bucks for a syrian oud sounds crazy! What do you mean by up north? What about the bedouins: I'm living in Beer Sheva but didn't find a oud in the shuq ha badawi.

I would be glad to get more info! Toda! Benjamin

Shalom to all you oud lover in the north...meaning north from Eilat..you all know what I mean....!!!!!!!!!!!
Any way on a more seriouse note!!!anybody know of a teacher for beginers in Beer Sheva or beyong.My nearest one is in Aquba which to say the leased is a bullagun to get there.
By the way Benjamin I am learning on a Turkish Oud.Not for sale as yet .
PUSHASED WHEN I WAS LAST IN TURKEY. A GREAT AND EXCITING SOUND
SHALOM SHALOM
