looking for kanun

Hi all,

I am looking for a professional kanun with an older sound, something like an old Ejder. Also need the mandals to be very good, smooth and easy to play.
I already have a Kenan but prefer something with a quieter and richer sound, better for acoustic Ottoman music.

Please let me know if you have any leads-

Thank you,
Phaedon

Paedon--

I believe John Belizikjian, the oud virtuoso in Southern California, may have a very fine kanun to sell. You can reach him at <dantzrec@aol.com>

Tell him I referred you.

Good luck!
