Has anyone a good adress in Istanbul where I can buy an electric oud and an electric saz? I plan to go there next week.
Thanx

For an electric saz, i can recommend Tekjnler Music Evi, they're on Galip Dede Caddesi at No.86 which is the same street (amazing oud/saz shops!) as the one Mourad has suggested. They usually have one or two and the quality of workmanship is excellent.

Thanks for your suggestions. I just got back from Turkey with an oud from Cankaya's which is really nice to play and look at. Also bought a saz of the new 8-string type at Tekinler's, great sound, great looks, too.
