Can anyone help me find a place where I can order a Guembri/Sintir

Question/Help

Salam everyone, hope you are having a great and blessed friday

I live in Europe and was born and raised here too. My mom's from Algiers and my dad is from a nomad family/tribe that later settled in a small village in the northern Sahara. I was taught the language and I like to believe I know a thing or two about our culture too. Being a music enthusiast, I've recently been wanting to buy a Oud and a Guembri. The problem is, finding them has been a pain, especially the Guembri. Does anyone know

a) A website that is reliable where I could order it from

b) A store/market in Algiers or close to it where I could go buy one next time I go inshallah

c) Plans to build/handcraft one myself

Any help is greatly appreciated!

oh and before someone brings it up, I will look into cross-posting this to the Moroccan/Tunisian subreddit as obviously Gnawa/Diwan mueic are closely related or regional variations of eachother.

Have a blessed day❤️
