hello, all
I need advice to purchase a new oud, I have been learning to play the instrument for almost 6 years now, and according to my various teachers, I have
made some progress, so I am comtemplating buying a new oud now( the one I have is a very cheap one bought in Algiers for 150 euros and it is beleived
to be too heavy), I heard of the luthier Joubran of Paris and of his rosewood instruments but I am told he does not issue any warranty or receipt for
payement, so I cannot make up my mind, can you help please, I am staying in Brighton, in the UK for professional reasons, but normally i live in
France where I hope to be back by september, thanks to all, wahid

Hi Wahid,
What kind of oud are you looking for? Turkish or Arabic? If you are looking for a Turkish oud, my friend Ismail makes very good professional uds and
he's going to Turkey soon (he's in Montréal right now), maybe you could arrange something. Reply yo this message if you are interested.
Good luck
