Rating guide

The Khaled Azooz Alaraf Oud is a learning model inspired by old Egyptian sound aesthetics, designed for musicians looking for a warm, soft and comfortable instrument to play.

Handcrafted in Egypt by the artisans of renowned luthier Khaled Azooz, this oud features elegant decorated round rosettes and a particularly warm, mellow and intimate sound reminiscent of traditional vintage Egyptian ouds.

Description
Product Details

Its bowl combines mulberry wood and wenge, offering a beautiful balance between warmth, softness and tonal stability. The spruce top provides musicality and a pleasant response for everyday practice.

Unlike some modern ouds focused on strong projection and brightness, the Alaraf model favors a more intimate and traditional tonal approach, especially appreciated for maqam practice, vocal accompaniment and long playing sessions.

Its comfortable neck and smooth action make it highly accessible for beginners who want to start with a real traditional oud while keeping a rich musical personality.

The oud comes fitted with professional LaBella strings and includes a lightly padded gig bag.
