We have had quite a few joint positions this year which I think is a good thing as the vendors work hard to bring excellent products to the market and sometimes it does feel unfair to single out one amongst the others, but the vote doesn't lie and I think
@RisingPhoenix have been rewarded with their consistent focus on bringing unique and quality creations to the market. Al Hashimi... (
@Alkhadra and
@AbasFrag) I am not sure what to say as its a genuine surprise for a small vendor who are not known for their prolific number of releases, but I am guessing that attention to detail for every product released is generating a loyal following.
@Al Shareef Oudh are a major vendor and what you see is the tip of the iceberg as they have operations before and beyond this forum and by rights should be up there, but I think they need to relocate to the Northern Hemisphere as it must be tough operating so far from buyers in the Gulf and Europe/US (I'm only half joking).
@Faizal_p,
@Faheem and
@Abdullah, the trio from Imperial Oud have made a big impact in the world of online Artisanal Oud since 2015 and despite their recent hiatus, they still have a strong resonance with oud aficionados.
@F4R1d0uX... Farid's focus on details and custom techniques has started to pay off with some stunning releases that received rave reviews all round. He is currently offline, but there are many people hoping to hear from him soon.
