Branwen, if you are considering quality UK makes like Sobell, who's website is http://www.sobellinstruments.com/, you may also like to look at Fylde Guitars and Halshaw Music" who sell Hullah intruments. I have played a Hullah bazouki and I liked it a lot. Terry Docherty is another maker who I belive makes excellent bazouki's but I can't find a web site. Maybe Bill Sables can help out.Jon
