I have always wanted to own an oud made be a true luthier. Thank you to this website for making that possible. The instrument was initially a bit heavier than I would have guessed, but that ultimately proved to be just fine. I found myself learning and loving every moment of the experience. I can now honestly say I have at least some skill with this instrument. Once I got used to things, I found it to be remarkably intuitive.

Looking for a Syrian oud that wouldn’t cost me a ton of money, I found this specific example while researching online. Can I tell you I’m so glad I decided to pick one up? The price is great, but there is so much else to this oud that I have come to love. I needed to replace my oud after an accident, and I couldn’t have asked for a better answer than this one.

Beyond the flawless sound quality production, the resonance, volume, and tone are all perfection. This may not be an ideal oud for beginners. As someone with prior experience, I can’t say. That said, even with my experience being a little limited, I found this black walnut (beautiful!) oud to be very easy to tune and play with.

Also, as far as tuning is concerned, the mechanical pegs are just perfect! I’m spending less time tuning, and a lot more time playing!

Happy with this oud for sure, especially for a more traditional version of this instrument.
I’m new to playing the oud for sure. This is my fist one but I definitely did my research. I was willing to spend a little more money to get something special that I could keep playing as I got better and better and it feels like this is just that kind of oud.
I love the way it looks and sounds. It’s taking some getting used to as far as holding and playing it (because I’m so new) but I think it’s going to work out great.

good oud, but I covered the front surface of the instrument and the fingerboard with a special protective varnish from drying out and from pollution, I also put strings of higher tension and now I am satisfied)

A nice instrument. It's a great student model to learn the oud. The sound is pleasing. The dark walnut with maple pin stripes gives it a dramatic appearance. Good packaging. It took about a month to get to Seattle.
