Rating guide

This 7-course Arabic oud by Amro Mostafa is a rare and particularly interesting model, designed for musicians looking for a powerful, expressive instrument that stands apart from more traditional Arabic ouds. Amro Mostafa is one of the Egyptian luthiers who has quickly earned a strong reputation thanks to the quality of his work, the care brought to his finishing and his open-minded approach to instrument making. Inspired by certain principles of Western lutherie, he pays close attention to proportions, playing comfort and construction precision, while preserving a strong oriental identity.

Description
Product Details

This model stands out with its 7-course configuration, meaning 13 strings in total, combined with a floating bridge. This design offers a wider range, more musical possibilities and a more open, projected and responsive sound than a traditional fixed-bridge oud.

Its Egyptian lebbek bowl brings a dark, deep and very distinctive sound color. This wood helps give the oud a cavernous character, with strong density in the bass, powerful sound presence and a tone rich in personality.

The spruce soundboard balances this depth with a clear attack, good projection and precise response. The combination of Egyptian lebbek, spruce and floating bridge creates a powerful, resonant and responsive oud, capable of producing a full sound while keeping good definition.

The Richlite fingerboard offers a stable, regular and comfortable playing surface. This modern material, appreciated for its reliability and resistance, fits well with Amro Mostafa’s approach, as he is not afraid to integrate contemporary solutions when they serve the comfort or quality of the instrument.

The ebony pegs reinforce the seriousness of the construction and contribute to tuning stability. The result is an original, well-finished and highly musical oud, designed for players looking for an instrument with a strong tonal personality.

Please note: due to its 7-course configuration, the neck is naturally wider than that of a classic oud. This model will therefore be especially suitable for musicians comfortable with a generous neck, but may be less suitable for players with very small hands.
