trip to cairo

radixfc - 6-22-2006 at 03:27 AM

hi everybody! :wavey:
I´ll be at El Cairo for a week next month... and of course I´m thinking in buying a new oud.
I´ve got an amateur syrian oud, a student turkish oud and a kwitra from south morocco.
I would like to find a oud-arbi (I looked for it al tunis, but had no luck) or a nice, fine and affordable oud.
any suggestions??? :D

I would visit Maurice Shehata's shop:

Al Aseel Shop
80 Misr & Sudan Street, Cairo

I wonder if local prices are the same that international ones:

you should get in touch with Maurice first and make sure he has something suitable -- he only had 2 ouds that were in my price range (around USD$500) when i visited...
