where and how to get an oud like Naseer shamma?

I am a bit lost in how i can get an oud like naseer shamma's. In previous threads, i heard that he used to play with fawzy's oud (how do i get to him)? Then i heard that he is using a yaroub fadel oud (how do i get to him)?........... This is all to vague for me.

So i hope that u guys could guide me in getting to a bashir style oud/ floating bridge oud similar to naseer shamma's or even the same.

Thank you very much!!!

Thanks for the info.

Have you bought an oud from him before?
Is the sound unexplainably nice?

Hello
As you were also asking of similar oud, may I recommend you also another maker.
I'm thinking of Fadi Matta, a great oud maker located in Lebanon.
his mail: nas2_lb@yahoo.com

Here is a player using one of his ouds, I think you may like the sound also

It is a 2 floating bridges oud, with mandolin like sound table ( I mean the soundboard make an angle down at his bottom side ), those characteristics allow the oud to support high string tension in order to bring this kind of sound.
