It is a long time as a guitar and oud player for many years and being from Iran myself, I wanted to have a professional barbat. After a long time search finally in 2006, I found out who are the best oud and barbat makers in Iran. I spoke with many professional Iranian players like Ostad Behroezinia, Majid Nazempour, Ali Shahidi and many others. In the meantime I was doing some research about diffe
rent dealers of Iranian made Barbat and Oud instruments in Europe: I found out that there actually are none. So the idea of starting a website to promote professional iranian instrument-making art came to my mind for Barbat and Oud enthusiasts all over the world. Now I'm officially working with Ghorbanzadeh Brothers & Mohammadi Brothers. The passion for music and instruments got me deeper into this world, for i always want the best sound from high-end instruments. This again became my next quest to find out which are best strings for different stringed instruments. The result is in this site and this quest is still going on. Enjoy my website, it is still being developed at this time. Any questions you may have, please contact me. Kind regards,
Morty Baltazar (Morteza Alizadeh)
