I've been seeing videos of Tunisian ouds ('arbi or tunsi) lately. This article explains why:

Lovely things. Where do you get one?

It’s not exclusively Tunisian, it’s across the Maghreb. Abdelsalam Chiki in Fes Morocco could make you one I’m pretty sure, his father plays it.

I have a oud from Tunisian Luthier Ridha Jendoubi and vouch for the quality of the instrument (in the process of ordering another one).

He also makes Tunisian ouds; only problem he speaks Arabic or French. You can contact him through facebook:

Or I can give you his cell phone number.
