Hi everybody! Can anyone suggest me how to buy a good quality saz? There's some good maker with a website?
Thanks

I have a long neck saz I can sell you. I don't play it. I am an oud and guitar player. That's enough for me. It's a shame and it really needs to be played. U2U your e-mail address and I will send you pics if you are interested. It's a high quality instrument. Basam Saba was interested in it but he already had one. I bought it from some one at the Arabic music retreat least year. Let me know

And of course you have Dr Cengiz Sarikus

I visited his workshop (it is more of a museum) in Istanbul 2 weeks ago and got an amazing yayli tanbur, he showed those baglama bowls carved from a single piece of wood, really impressive.

I have 3 longneck baglamas available for sale. They were made by the late Haluk Eraydin in march 2008.

Model B1: The first one is black walnut and mahogany, the second one is mahogany and the third one is mulberry sliced. Spruce soundboard and maple pegs. I do ship worlwide, with bubble wrap all around the instrument and in a plywood crate for more protection. The asking price is the same as listed on Eraydin Sazevi's website + shipping cost. They are new and come with soft case. Pictures are available upon request.

This is my first post here and I want to tell you that I have been learning a lot from you guys over the past year. It is loaded with useful information. Thank you!

For your information, I have a student called Mansour who bought an Egyptian oud from you in Montreal last month.
you remember him?

Hi Samir! Yes I remember him. How did it go? It was his first lesson if I remember correctly?
