Oud Burak Yilmaz Curly Maple

The bowl made from carefully selected curly maple, a wood widely used in lutherie for its aesthetic and acoustic qualities, features a regular and luminous grain, both refined and understated. Curly maple is known for its stability, its clear tonal response and its ability to produce a well-defined, balanced and precise sound, making it an excellent choice for a versatile oud.

The cedar top adds warmth, roundness and softness to the attack, while maintaining excellent sensitivity to the player’s touch. It perfectly balances the natural clarity of maple, resulting in a harmonious, comfortable and expressive tone.

The ebony fingerboard and tuning pegs ensure reliable tuning stability, good durability and a precise playing feel.

The result is an oud with a clear, warm and well-balanced sound, easy to play and suitable for both solo performance and accompaniment.
