Recommendation for buying Turkish Tanbur
Hey guys, I'm planning to get a Tanbur on Istanbul. Any recommendations? I was thinking on Saadettin Sandi so far, but wanted to ask for more input
whether to confirm going with them or looking for another maker.
Any Tanbur player has some advice?
Thanks in advance.

I think in this time all luthiers make good quality tanburs. So you can't do much wrong. So Saadettin Sandi should be fine.
However, what Faruk Türünz is for the oud, so is Sacit Gürel for the tanbur.
Murat Aydemir's tanburs are from him.
I don't know why but his website doesn't work anymore. But here is another link (but the gallery doesn't work):

At here some pictures for you:

Or you can go with his student Elif Kızılhan.
http://www.tanburatolyesi.com/galeri.html
In the gallery you can see people like Birol Yayla, Murat Aydemir or Hakan Talu and also Sacit Gürel.
Here is a tweet of Murat Aydemir from not so long ago recommending her:

It is up to you.

Thank you DivanMakam, will ask them for quotes to see if it's possible for me to afford.
Best.
