Description
Product Details

The soundboard is made from selected cedar, a wood highly appreciated in luthiery for its vibrational sensitivity, warmth and rich harmonic response. It provides a quick reaction under the risha and an expressive tone from the very first notes.

The bowl is made from an elegant combination of wenge and padauk. This pairing of premium woods brings excellent tonal depth, strong low-end presence and a refined, distinctive visual contrast.

The single soundhole construction plays an important role in the personality of this model. It promotes a more focused, deeper and more directly oriental sound, especially appreciated by musicians looking for a true sharki timbre.

The fingerboard and tuning pegs are made of ebony, a dense and durable wood ensuring tuning stability, precision and long-term reliability.

Acoustically, the Shami line is known for its purely oriental sound, often described as sharki. On this Shami 34 model, that identity is enhanced by particularly pronounced basses, strong tonal depth and a warm, balanced projection.

Zeryab ouds are the descendants of the prestigious Ali Khalifa family, internationally recognized among oud musicians and experts. This tradition of craftsmanship dates back to 1948 and remains a benchmark in professional Syrian oud making.

The vision of Zeryab is to craft high-quality traditional ouds while integrating a modern touch through refined design and advanced craftsmanship. Each instrument reflects this balance between musical heritage and contemporary playability.

All Zeryab ouds feature an integrated Truss Rod system similar to those used in guitars. This system allows musicians to precisely adjust string action in order to optimize playing comfort and adapt the instrument to their preferences.

The instrument comes with a heavily padded gig bag for excellent protection as well as three rishas.
