Fellow oud players,

This person offers hard cases at a reasonable price, does anyone have any experience how reliable this business is

I have one of their cases that came with a lavta made for me by a luthier in Izmir. I think that the case is excellent––very sturdy, relatively light, nicely padded, good quality hardware, and altogether a very clean look.

Al Halabi, Thank you very much! I'll keep you guys posted how the transaction goes.

You're welcome. I have no experience with the vendor of these cases as my case was provided by the luthier, and I hope things work out well for you.

I ordered 2 cases thusfar. Both fitted my ouds very well. I agree with fellow Al-Halabi's reviews. Seller is reliable and cases were shipped in the agreed upon timeframe. Price including shipping as of December 2018 was less than 300$.
