Looking for DIMITRIS RAPAKOUSIOS oud
Thank you guys for making this oud experience an interactive one.
I was trying to contact DIMITRIS RAPAKOUSIOS via the information on his website without any luck. I would like to order a oud from him.
Would anyone be kind enough to share his contact information with me?
Many thanks in advance,
Amin

Hi Amin,
Did you end up buying/ ordering an Oud form Rapakousios?
I have seen his work on Instagram, and his Ouds are beautiful. I'm curious about your experience, price range, shipping, and so on.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Humam--I ordered a dimitris oud years ago and still play it today. I had an amazing experience all around.
He did a great job shipping (extremely well-packed and the oud made it in 1 piece) and the price was very fair. However they do not start cheap as I
remember but it is always good to ask--he is very responsive and understanding.
Any specific questions?

Hi Humam,
I did order one from him, but did not receive it yet. I was able to reach him through whatsapp and he is responsive. Will keep you posted once I
receive it.
Best

Thanks for your reply Yavaran & Amin.
I have a two years old Shehata floating bridge apprentice Oud. And I love my Oud, but I'm thinking about getting a nicer one.
I'm not an expert, but I really like the sound and the design of Dimitris Ouds.
However, as I was doing my research, in an old post, Brian Prunka brought up an excellent and valid point. Why would you go to a Greek or a Turkish
maker instead of an Arabic or Iraqi maker if you are looking for an Arabic oud?
So, I'm still thinking about that before making a decision
Other than that, it seems like both of you have a good experience with him.
Again, thank you very much for your help and all the info.
Regards.
Humam

I would like to share my very positive experience with Dimitris.
Dimitris was very prompt in answering all my questions. He offered me a wide arrange of ouds, woods... i chose a rosewood bowl and cedar soundboard.
He picked a beautiful century old cedar soundboard. I received the oud within the promised time frame. The oud made it in one piece. The cases he
provides are amazing and i received many complements about the case from non-oud players. I have a thermometer and hygrometer in the case and the case
maintains both relatively well.
The oud is extremely responsive and the action is perfect. It holds tuning very well.

In summary I found Dimitris to be transparent, professional and his oud is the best I've owned. If any of you are interested in ordering a oud from
him, I am very confident he will please you. You can be assured that your money is safe and well spent. Plus his prices are very reasonable.
