I want to buy a new oud
Hi all,
I am new in this forum but I am a lover of the Oud ! I am intermediate level at oud playing and I want to buy a new one. I have a budget of about 500
euro +/- 100 euro ~. What oud maker do you advice me ?
Thanks to all in advance for considering my request,
Iss-2012

You want the short answer? Sukar
at 600 euros if you hunt a little, it should be doable, maybe new, maybe used.

thanks for the answer fernandraynaud but I don't like the Sukar oud design (matter of taste :p). I want some turkish oud with good sound quality !

You didn't say "Turkish". Sorry, around here we do rather tend to think "Arabic". There are some direct from Turkey ouds on e-bay even. I don't know
if anyone here has tried them, there could be some acceptable ones. At the 500 euro level you sure don't have a lot of "name" Turkish ouds. Or Arabic
ones, either.

I like also ouds of Khaled Belhaiba from Morroco but I have no idea about his prices ! I think the sukar ouds are good for medium player but they are
not beautiful in my eyes... and oud for me is a piece of art and must have beautiful sound and beautiful design ! a pleasure for the ears and for the
eyes 
Anyway, thanks a lot fernandraynaud !

Hi iss-2012 
dont wanna step on your feets,but,do you know that the difference between
turkish and arabic ouds is not only the design?
If you want your new oud to be a plaesure for your ears, you should make sure to know which oud-nationality suits your ears most.
Regards from a turkish+arabic oud lover

I actually have a turkish oud, it has a medium sound (not sufficiently deep) but I want to sell it and buy another one . I saw that Faruk Turunz for
example make arabic ouds (with the turkish design), I like that sound:

The oud in the second belhaiba-clip is made by the forum member sabassi, as far as I know.
He make beautifull ouds like this ones for very reasonable prices.
