Women making ouds
Hello everyone.
Does anyone know any women who are making or repairing ouds, or have done in the past?
Thanks for your help.

YES, there have always been female violin makers, some on guitar, and I've seen at least three in Turkey making ouds to a good effect. I will try to
find there names.

In the San Francisco Bay Area oud player Su Tang does repair with (her mentor) Gary Haggerty.

Lady Luthier
Yes why not ? It's not hard labour at all, but she'd have to give up manicure ...
Actually it's a fine job, very delicate and sophisticated .. as female are
A lady making and/or playing oud is probably paradise. Look at the old paintings and you'd find a lady playing an oud.
I could find two Arab female oud makers:
Carol Alra'ey - Beirut , Lebanon كارول الراعي
Mary Taweel - Damascus, Syria ماري طويل
Carol started in 1986 by repairing her oud, then in 1994, instructed by Ramon Taye'a - ريمون
طايع -, started making her own.
She's a player & a singer too, in her late forties.
Mary (in her twenties) is the third generation of oud makers. Her grandfather, Ibrahim Al Taweel, was a fine luthier back in the 1950's-1980's, who
taught her father Tony, who taught her. Tony has a workshop at the new handcrafts market in Damascus.
I've never met a lady luthier. I wish I will some time 
Yours indeed

Thanks very much for the pictures!
And thanks for the new names! But Alfaraby, are the Taweels able to continue in Damascus now...?

As much as I hear, life is going on as always in Damascus. Riots take place in the coyntryside.
Wish all this end.
Yours indeed

It's strange - having read her text - that she didn't know about Mathias Wagner. She knows / knew not a singer oud maker or restorer in Germany when
she wrote it. But perhaps he added ouds to his portfolio after 2002, when she began? There are now at least two 2 makers in Berlin as well,
Turkish-style.

Hi Matthias. Perhaps you were making only occasional ouds at that time, which would fit?
"Ich baue erst seit Anfang 2002 arabische Lauten, daneben auch manchmal Trommeln und restauriere alte Musikinstrumente, und zwar rein hobbymäßig. Da
es hierzulande nicht gerade viele Oudbauer gibt (ich kenne in Deutschland keinen einzigen, einzelne Lautenbauer, die mal einen Oud reparieren oder
einzelne Ouds bauen, ausgenommen...)" in context here http://www.oudinfo.de/Uberblick/Oudbauen_als_Hobby/oudbauen.htm

Hello,
ah o.k. you mean her website text. It was not clear for me to what you referred. Thanks.
yes indeed at that time I was not so known. As far as I know she is still doing that for her hobby, but she has some experiencies im making and
repairing instrument, not only aoud.
Matthias
