preparing a oud travel to Tunis
Hi all,
i'll be going to Tunis in 2 weeks for 2 or 3 days and will be looking for :
- places/luthiers to buy good quality ouds
- eventually teachers to contact for some teaching hours
any advise / adresses or feedback from folks who recently came back with ouds from Tunisia ?
thank you for your replies
regards
Saleh

Never been, but see this thread with some recs in Tunis:

Achref Chargui seems like a good guy to start with, but he might be touring by the time you get there

Hi !
thanks for the information...yes I read this thread but since it was a little bit old I wanted to have an update ...:0)
for what it's worth here is some information (if anyone plans a trip to Tunisia in a near future) : I had contact with M Jendoubi (luthier) who was
kind enough to give me his phone and told me I could visit him when I wanted (i'll keep an update of the visit when I come back from Tunis) -- he also
gave me the name of Muhamed Hassan iraki oud teacher who lives in Tunisia. I'd sent a message through facebook to Abdelhamid Haddad (another famous
Tunisian luthier) but got no answer. As for the more general shops : there seems to be a shop rue de Marseille in the center of Tunis.
I'll let you know how all of this goes.
regards
Saleh
