The Sultan MH Arabic Oud in amaranth is an advanced model by Sultan Music, appreciated for its excellent value for money and its successful balance between Turkish craftsmanship and Arabic oud sound. Made in Turkey, this oud is designed for musicians looking for a serious, reliable and enjoyable instrument, without entering the price range of high-end professional models. It offers careful workmanship, good stability and an elegant, sober and well-controlled aesthetic.
Its amaranth bowl brings a warm, deep and slightly denser sound character. This wood helps give the oud a solid bass foundation, a rich tonal color and an expressive character, while preserving good clarity in the attack.
Combined with a cedar soundboard, the amaranth bowl allows the instrument to produce a full, responsive and generous sound. Cedar brings flexibility, warmth and quick response, while amaranth reinforces depth, sustain and a pleasant sense of roundness.
This oud therefore stands out with a powerful, open and well-balanced sound, ideal for musicians who appreciate the comfort and precision of Turkish ouds while looking for a sound color closer to the Arabic oud world. It offers good resonance, clear attack and strong projection, making it a very versatile instrument.
The ebony fingerboard and pegs reinforce the seriousness of the construction and contribute to comfortable playing. The result is an accessible, elegant and musically convincing oud, perfectly suited to musicians who want to progress with a quality instrument.
Delivered with a lightly padded case and 3 rishas, this model is an excellent choice for intermediate players, demanding beginners or confirmed musicians looking for a reliable Arabic oud at a controlled price.
