Going to Qatar. Good place for Oud?
I'm going to be making a trip to Doha, Qatar very soon. Is this a good place to buy Ouds?

Hi Rasuul,
I used to live in Qatar. I remember an awesome oud maker. I dont remember the name, but I know his store was called "Mosika Al Sharq" or in English
"The Music of the East". He is Aremnian and made some of the best ouds, which were purchased by singers like Ragheb and Abadi. He also gave some
ouds to Talal El Maddah and MOhammed Abdo. His old store was in Al Sadd street.
Be very careful with some of these sellers. Some of them were big rip-offs. I know two of them I dont want to mention. They had very small shops in
Doha.
I also heard from the members in this group that Maurice Shehata has a shop in Doha. He is, as you probably know, one of the best and most famous
makers.

Selam ya Rasuul
First of all you must decide the type of oud you wanna play. Arabian or turkish oud. If u decide a turkish type then you can connect with luthiers as
Mustafa biçicioğlu, Fevzi daloğlu, Mustafa çöpçüoğlu, Dinçer dalkılıç, Faruk Türünz, Saadettin Sandı etc. But
first decide the type of music you'l play.

I'd prefer to play an Arabic Oud (I already have some experience with the Arabic music system on my violin), but I have heard a Turkish Oud could be
tuned like an Arabic Oud, In which case either type of Oud will do.

Salam Ya Rasuul,
I believe Maurice Shehata has a shop in Qatar. He is one of the best makers around.
Go to his webpage and you will find the contact info.
Good luck,
Hatem

Yoe can look the websites, droud.com,oudmaker.com. etc, Be sure that you can tune a Turkish oud to arabian but youcan tunne an arabic to Turkish. The
turkish oudmasters called the arabic ouds as tracks and according to me the turkish ouds can be called as luxury automobilles.
