ouds wanted UK

I'm looking to buy an Oud. I live in UK amd would like to see the oud before buying (no postage).
Can anyone recomend a shop in the UK that sells ouds or does anyone have any to sell?

Hello Al Oskarku,
What kind of oud would you like to buy? Professional or something just to begin with?
Arabic or Turkish?
I have a great professional Arabic Syrian oud for sale, but i didn't have the time yet to put it in here and add also some sound files of the instrument! ( but i will do it soon)

Some info: 61cm Arabic Syrian oud - luthier: Ziad Rajab - fretboard:ebony - bowl:wallnut & maple - soundboard: german spruce - Great condition like it is completely new!

If you are interested for that kind of instrument just let me know! In few days i will be able to put fotos and sound files of this instrument!

Be well!!!

Got a oud from Cairo in London - let me know if you are interested (brand new).

Failing that, if anyone in the UK wants a specific oud from egypt let me know.
