Oud Khaled Azooz Ebony II - Exclusive
| Power | Warmth | Resonance | Tone color |
| ★★★★☆ | ★★★★★ | ★★★★☆ | Deep |
Discover this exceptional Egyptian oud crafted by luthier Khaled Azooz, a rare instrument distinguished both by the nobility of its materials and by its unique acoustic design. This model belongs to the high-end category of the maker’s work and is intended for demanding musicians seeking a powerful, deep, and unique instrument.
The bowl is made of ebony, an extremely dense wood that is very rarely used in oud bowl making. This prestigious material not only offers a remarkable visual presence with its dark, deep reflections, but also contributes to a particularly rich sound, with powerful bass response and excellent projection.
The cedar soundboard brings warmth, depth, and expressiveness to the instrument’s tone. Cedar is especially appreciated for its fast response and its ability to produce a round, full sound, perfectly suited to musicians looking for an expressive and nuanced voice.
This model also stands out thanks to its single soundhole configuration, a less common feature on traditional ouds. This acoustic design favors deeper resonance and especially present low frequencies, giving the instrument a very distinctive tonal character.
The ebony fingerboard and ebony pegs ensure excellent tuning stability and optimal playing comfort. The instrument is also adorned with a mother-of-pearl rosette, adding an extra touch of elegance to an already remarkable instrument.
Fitted with 11 professional Kürschner strings, this oud delivers exceptional tonal precision and a clear attack. It comes with a lightly padded gig bag to protect the instrument during transport.
