    Oldest & Best Music Store in Syria

    amarchebib recommends this,

    I bought an oud from here last summer (2010) and was very satisfied with the price and quality.. Firas Salka, the grandson of the gentleman that opened the store many years ago (it was the first music store in all of Syria), is a courteous, sincere, and funny guy! I interviewed him for a documentary film I was shooting on Arab music and he knows his stuff.. also not the type of guy to take you for a ride.. and speaks English well! I went to many other music shops in Syria.. don't bother.. this is the place!
