Travel to Istanbul


Hello...
(sorry for double-posting that message, my mistake)

I joined this forum just yesterday and I'm happy for it, cause already I have found people and information very useful to my love for the ud.
I'm a violinist, but for the last two years I started playing the ud. Two instruments that let you dream you're on magic carpet while playing them!

Yesterday I posted a message named: "travel to Istanbul" in the buy & sell" forum.
Today I saw amtaha's message and I noticed we are actually having the same plan and questions.
Though, my travel to Istanbul is not touristic, but a music mission. I am going to buy an ud.
So far I've mostly been playing on a kind of a "souvenir and practicing" model ud. It is definetly time to move on a better construction and more (allow me the word) "original" instrument.

One more thing I'd like to ask is about the price ranges someone can meet in those workshops suggested. (eg. Faruk, Dr. Sarikus, cankaya muzik evi etc.)
My budget doesn't meet the highest quality of an ud. I guess I'm somewhere in the middle range.
Could anyone give a hint on the different price ranges?
Ofcource it is very important to me (like amtaha has pointed out I think), that I speak to people and makers who will realise my personal requirements and budget for buying an ud.

Thanx in advance
Lampros
