Oud Repair in Toronto
Hi All,
I just recently started learning to play the oud. After finishing practice the other day, I left my oud next to my cold Toronto apartment window and
woke up in the morning to find a few cracks on the soundboard.
I realize now after some research that it is because of the cold dry weather (beginner mistake..).
Does anyone know of a good luthier in Toronto that I can go to get my oud repaired? I found http://saazirani.com/ , who is located in North York, but I'd like to see if anyone has had any experience with them or if you have any
recommendations.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

Hi Snami,
that is a real shame. I live in Hamilton...The weather has been up and down but i am surprised your window got so cold that the soundboard was
affected. Must be some draft  I hope it was a cheaper Oud
Anyways, yes Reza(saazirani) works on OUD repair. Call him, he is a SUPER nice guy and will tell you what he can or cant do with your OUD.
There is also Samir in Ottawa, a member here, who you can maybe work out something with via shipping to have it repaired perhaps.
I am kinda in the same boat as you with one of my ouds needing some repair, but i haven't brought it in yet since i have another OUD to use currently,
but i should soon....
Let us know how you do and if you find anyone else...
Cheers,
Matt

thanks for the recommendation Matt,
Although I haven't met him, I know someone who had work done by Reza and he only had amazing things to say.
