Trying to contact AbdelHamid Haddad in Tunisia

conroystoptime - 5-15-2016 at 02:13 PM

Hello everyone,

In a little over 48 hours, I'll be making my first trip to Tunis.

I've been trying, via a family member who lives there, to reach AbdelHamid Haddad so that we might pay a visit to his lutherie.

But we had no luck with the phone number below (which did work for me when I called him four years ago).

Can anyone help me with Monsieur Haddad's current, working contact information?

And is his shop still at the address listed here?

366, avenue Farhat Hachad
KORBA - TUNISIE
phone : (00216) 72.384.791


Also, if any of you is aware of MUSICAL EVENTS OCCURRING BETWEEN MAY 18 and 25, please let me know. I would love to see some Malouf or other traditional Tunisian music.

Thank you so much!

Hello josh!

I'm sorry I cannot help but I would like to add a question if somebody come to answer your question :

Has haddad most of the time ready ouds to sell in his workshop or is he working only by order?

Is he speaking french?

Does he ever make short fingerboard ouds? (only saw long ones)

thanks a lot!

and hope that somebody will pass for help!
