Hi,

I don't know of shops, but Dincer Dalkilic is a really great Turkish luthier that lives just outside of Philadelphia. Here is his website: Oud Maker

I've put a deposit on a paduk ud he made, his work is really amazing.

Take care,

mav

thanks Mavro!

Hi,

He makes all kinds of instruments, but I don't think he makes Arabic ouds. His Turkish ouds are $2000, and worth every penny. ;)

Take care,

hi again

well, most of the ouds in that shop are egyption, i found a syrian oud once.

The ouds in General are ok, they are not very good quality, but some times you get lucky and find an oud thats sounds great.

thank you
