Ouds In Bostons
There is the famous:
PETER KYVELOS & CHRISTOS PANTAZELOS
"Unique Strings" in Belmont, MA (outside of Boston)
Tel: (617) 489-1254
I live outside Boston, but, to tell the truth I just assumed I wouldn't be able to afford an instrument from Kyvelos so I am having one made by
Maurice Shehata in Cairo.

Thank you all for the information. I also unfortunately cannot afford to buy an oud from Kyvelos, but I will look into Shehata. I am just starting to
play the oud, and therefore I am not looking for a professional grade oud at this time. A student grade would be just fine. Any further suggestions
would be greatly appreciated.
Kindly,
zinnia

Can you inform Mr Sheehata about me a lil bit-Im planning to get him to build an Oud for me (indentical to the one that he made for Abadi-but Im
requesting a smaller size or maybe the same should be ok) Let me know his price and some details about his work-Thanks
Salam

Hi Zul, just letting you know we've met with Mr. Shehata a few times. He's really a great guy, and his ouds are a great combination of
attractive looks and rich, strong sound. I'm excited about them.
We told him about you, and like we thought, he's made many for Abadi Johar so he would need a specific instrument reference. You should do that
yourself to be right on with what you want.
He's a very cool guy, spending time with him was another great highlight of this trip.
Take care,
mav
