Hello guys,
Thank you for making this forum so great and full of useful oud info.

I'm having lessons with the renowned player Ahmed Al-Mukhtar
but my oud atm is just a touristy oud.. i need to buy a new oud and most preferably floating bridge but not necessarily and if its iraqi oud that oud be the best. The problem is that I dont have more then $700 with other numbers £400 is it even possible to get a floating bridge oud for that price?

I live in NW London but I don't mind traveling anywhere in London.

Pleaaaase guys i really need this urgent and I wanna play it before buying or at least hear a sound sample

Thank you,

Anmar

How are your lessons with Ahmed mukhtar? Is he mainly Iraqi style? What is his attitude to more Egyptian style rythm/melody?

I'm starting in begin may, and i think he specializes in iraq style oud, specially Maqamat but i dont think that he is the best choice if you wanna go towards the egyptian style rythm/melody.

Please guys i really need an oud i found 1 which was 1000 pounds
