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!
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.
