I am not sure what the ranges are...

What is available for 500LE?
1000LE?

I have been playing for two years and am of reasonable standard. Something that is no frills - no need for nice designs/special marbling etc. Just good sound quality or whatever I should be looking for.

Any advice on where to go and what to look for would be great .

Thanks Edward.

If you go to Marco on Mohammed Ali street, he can give you a good sounding oud for 800LE.

my experience was pretty much that. 800 is enough... next is a major quality jump.

but you never know.....
