Discover this high-end Egyptian oud crafted by luthier Khaled Azooz, a remarkable instrument both for its sound and its exceptional visual presence. This model belongs to the upper tier of the maker’s work and immediately stands out thanks to a rare and striking wood choice: spalted maple.
The bowl is made from spalted maple, a naturally figured wood marked by dark veins and organic patterns. This natural phenomenon makes every instrument absolutely unique, as no two pieces display the same lines, contrasts, or visual character. The result is an oud with a strong identity and an almost artistic aesthetic that highlights the natural beauty of the wood.
Beyond its appearance, spalted maple also contributes to a rich, balanced tone. Combined with a cedar soundboard, this oud delivers a timbre that is deep, warm, and expressive, with great sensitivity and excellent responsiveness under the fingers. Cedar brings a fast response and a rounded warmth that many musicians appreciate for expressive playing.
The ebony fingerboard and ebony pegs ensure excellent tuning stability and professional playing comfort. The instrument is also enhanced with fine decorative inlays and mother-of-pearl around the rosette and the edges, underscoring the elegance and finishing level of this model.
Fitted with 11 professional Kürschner strings, this oud offers outstanding clarity and a clean, precise attack. It is delivered with a lightly padded gig bag for protection during transport.
