where can I buy a buzuk?

michoud - 3-9-2012 at 08:23 PM

Hi all!
I want to buy a buzuk, but nowadays I donĀ“t know where because my good friend Samir Azar, who makes very good buzuks, now cannot make any buzuk or oud due to the countries situation :(
also I know that Sukar makes buzuks, but the same problem, due to the countries situation, I cannot send him the money,and he cannot send the buzuk
so I dont know more buzuk makers...
I need something not very expensive...
I think maybe in Lebanon or Palestine? I think Nazih Ghadban makes buzus, but very expensive for my budget
Please can somebody help me?
Thank you!

You will not find one in the same price range as Samir Azar or Sukar.

Do they make an Arab Buzuk or are you suggesting them for a Saz as an alternative?
