Oud in Abu Dhabi

hakeem.ram - 11-11-2007 at 09:48 PM

Greetings All!

I am newly posted to Abu Dhabi and I am looking for a simple decent oud with a very low budget kind of thingy.

I understand that there is Ammar Hamoudi but I am not sure of his location. Also there are people who said that his oud are sometimes questionnable and also over priced.

Any other suggestions, recommendations?

Thank you in advance

Hi Hakeem,

Talking about oud in Abu-Dhabi, They annouced in the Radio about "oud House" for naseer shamma is opened in Abu-Dhabi. That will be more important thing to visit. i dont have much information. But i will get it soon.

Becarefull, We dont have "Orignal" ouds in our country - Nahat, Fawzi Monshid ..........etc. So many cheaters in the music market over here. However, you can get good quality oud but it will be over priced.

My Advise, Buy the oud from the source - Oud Makers-. It will be life investment, better than you buy a oud and sell it next day.

If you pass by Dubai, feel free to contact me if you like ..

Thanks

Hey guys, I'll be in Abu Dhabi for a day or two soon, do you have the Bayt El-oud address? Any other shops worth a look?
