Hi Charlie

I bought via nileshop a few mos. ago with cheaper bowl a basic prof. model1.( Nahat style single shamal) cost without p&p roughly £350. see web site. If you go direct to Maurice I would have thought you could do a good deal on that. Any thoughts on Michael Moussa. ( see previous thread) He's an excellent maker based in Barnsley. save the fare but miss the sunshine! I'm very happy with the one I have. very different from Shehata. I'm due to pay him a visit in the next week or so and I'll find out what he's got available.
