Any Oud/Etnic makers in London


Hi All,
I will be in London on September and would like to meet an Oud maker or Lute maker? (Ethnic instruments making?)
Any Ideas?

Thanks a lot!
Yaron Naor

Michael Moussa -- http://www.magicstrings.co.uk/index.htm -- is in South Yorkshire, about 166 miles (263 km) from London. According to Google, that would be a 3 3/4 hr. trip from London. Might be worth the trip, though.

A list of luthiers in the UK including those based in London can be found here on the Lute Society web page

If European lute is of any interest to you, you could ask my relative-by-marriage, Jacob Heringman, about luthiers and performances. You can mention my name (John Erlich). Here is his web page: http://www.heringman.com/contacts.htm Jacob moved out of London a few years ago, but I'm sure, still knows all of the lute-related activities in London. Here is a video of him performing with our friend Adel Salameh: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRG_zeKPPJ0

Hi Yaron,
As far as I'm aware there are no professional oud makers in London, but maybe you can contact David and Chaim from LA Guitars? They are fine luthiers and do repair ouds from time to time.

Good luck.
