You should sign up for the yahoo group "arabicmusicretreat". It's for Simon Shaheen's retreat, but a lot of members are in the NY/NJ/CT area and
someone might have an oud to sell if you post a request.

Greetings,
Do you live in NYC or are you just visiting? Finding an oud in NYC is surprisingly tricky and the lack of response just reflects that...they don't
grow on trees there for some reason. There are however lots of ouds there that people own so it's possible you could find one. The only suggestion I
can make is maybe get in touch with Haig Manoukian. He's a great udi, makes repairs and lives in the East Village. Would probably give you some
advice.
Send me a private message if you want his contact info.
BTW, also a great idea from Brian about getting in touch with the Arab Music Retreat regulars.
All the best and good luck!
Adam
