I'm very happy with my Buzuq from Samir Azar - samiraz@scs-net.org
Here are some photos:

Hello,
I am looking to buy a buzuq. I am finding it is very difficult to locate one. If you do not mind me asking, Lee, how much did you pay for your Buzuq
from Mr. Azaz?
Thank you.

Buzuq from Samir Azar
Samir is very friendly and easy to work with,
I suggest you contact him directly – I can't comment on his price because I don't know how much the situation in the middle east has affected things
for him. Probably the most expensive thing about getting an instrument from him will be the shipping as things continue to get more difficult. When I
bought from him it went very smoothly and he shipped through Aramex.
It would bve best if you knew someone who was traveling to the mideast and they could pick it up for you! Good luck!

I have contacted Samir and he gave me a quote for one of his buzuqs. I will be traveling next year to Uzbekistan, but I doubt I'll be able to visit
him in Syria. Thank you for your help.
