buying a saz

Any saz players out there? I'm thinking about buying one, but it has to be mail order and I don't want to buy junk. Help!

    I haven't used these guys, but check out:

    Anybody that's putting machine head tuners on a saz is certainly going in the right direction.....

    I bought mine from the German E-bay, and they may have gotten it in turn from The Saz Shop. Machine tuners, truss rod, pickup, hardcase.

      Wow! Those are beautiful sazes! I especially like the olive body ones. Does anyone have a preference for long or short neck?

        To me, the long neck is the way to go. More options musically (though less comfortable to play....). If I had more ape-like arms, I'm sure it would be easier.....this defect has held me back in my talking drum playing as well :-)

    I work for Lark in the Morning and can pick out a nice one for you. I play, and will choose a good one if asked.
