Dincer Dalkilic

Hi,

I don't know of shops, but Dincer Dalkilic is a really great Turkish luthier that lives just outside of Philadelphia. Here is his website: Oud Maker

I've put a deposit on a paduk ud he made, his work is really amazing.

Take care,

mav

Hi,

He makes all kinds of instruments, but I don't think he makes Arabic ouds. His Turkish ouds are $2000, and worth every penny.

Take care,

hi again

well, most of the ouds in that shop are egyption, i found a syrian oud once.

The ouds in General are ok, they are not very good quality, but some times you get lucky and find an oud thats sounds great.

san3any.

call me if you want more information (202-460-9078)
