Turkish oud
Hi everyone,
My first post on this forum, thx to all for these precious informations about the Oud.
I've found this store on ebay Anatolia Store.
What do you think about these oud (apparently not very excessive I think) for a beginner in Oud ?
I would especially like to know your opinion on this one, is it to expensive?
thanks,

Welcome to the forum Kurdo! If you are looking for a good Turkish oud for a beginner, have a look at Haluk Eraydin's ouds. Quite a few of us got
started on a 'student' oud by Haluk and have found his ouds well made and great value for money. He is a very helpful and friendly man to deal with as
well.

Hi Kurdo,
The oud pictured, from what I can tell, is a very well made classic style turkish oud. But unless someone else on the forums has ordered one, then I'd
stay away from them. I'd go with MatthewW's advice, and get a Haluk. Otherwise, you're taking a big chance. Good luck.
Regards...Paul

Your profile says you live in Sweden then you can get good Turkish beginner oud in Stockholm. One shop down at Södermalm have a wide range of Turkish
ouds and there are always ads on blocket/eniro with ouds for sale. Give it a try.
Best wishes

Thanks Ronny, that´s interesting. Do you know if the shop you mentioned has other Turkish instruments for sale, too? Sazes, tanburs?

Thank you all for your help and advisers
Hi Ronny!
The problem with the store in Södermalm is that the owner smokes inside the store, all his instruments are contaminated by the smell. Another
problem is the humidity / the air in the store. The instruments are not stored in the right way.

Hi Kurdo, yes he do smoke a lot (a tobacco store after all) and instruments are not stored the best way (wall decorations) and cold air can enter
trough the entrance door but I've played several of his instruments and I've never noticed any major problems with them.
I know couple of guys that are pleased with their beginner Turkish ouds.
The price range is on the lower range but sometimes he have some very interesting older instruments like a very old classic Kemance and I remember an
old oud as well.
Arto, yes he has Tanburs and different sizes of saz as cura and divan also santurs and various percussions as tombak, daf, darabukka.
Best wishes
Ronny

Thanks again! Ronny or Kurdo, would you know the name and contact information (address, telephone, and/or email?) for the shop? Could be a nice one to
visit next time in Stockholm.
Greetings from Helsinki,

Thanks Serhan,
I own a Haluk beginners oud and am happy with it, so I know how great person Mr Eraydin is to buy from... What I am most interested these days would
be to get a mizrapli tanbur. I love the music, but have never handled the instrument, so it would be good to have real life experience first before
buying one.
PS: Thanks Ronny for the address!
best wishes,
Arto

Hej Kurdo! Jag har bara Irakiska oudar att sälja och de är ganska dyra instrument. Söker du efter Arabisk eller Turkisk oud? Oavsett det så kan
jag hjälpa dig att lokalisera ett instrument samt ge råd vid köp. Förekommer en hel del instrument på diverse säljsiter men flera är mycket
dålig kvalité samt att det förekommer många fejkade kopior av kända byggares instrument. Men som sagt jag hjälper dig gärna.
Best wishes
Ronny
