Hey all ,
I have been monitoring and researching as best I can to find out more about the Oud .
I live in Virginia and can't seem to find any shops here . If I buy one online I would like to start out with something affordable ... can anyone
direct me in the right direction ?
Thank you

Hey snake charmer if you want to buy an oud online you can try Yehia over
at the nile shop.You can contact him at this email - sales@nileshop.net Just let him know how much your looking to spend. I have been dealing with
Yehia for about a month and a half and I belive he wrote the book on customer service . Anyways contact him and hopefully things work out for you.
By the way im getting my new Shehata oud from him next week.

Hello Snakecharmer. I noticed you need help with where to get an afordable oud. Haluk Eraydin, one of the members of the forum, builds ouds starting
at $119 . He has verry good service. If you need anymore information, please post or email me at wfspark@yahoo.com, or wfspark@hotmail.com.

Thank You all for your info . I feel that this quest for my Oud is going to be a big deal . I guess I want something within the 300 dollar range . But
I want a good sounding one and not one that will be a decoration in a few weeks . So I thank you all and any more info would be great !
Mucho Blessings
Mark
