This Khaled Azooz Naos oud is handcrafted in Egypt by a luthier known for producing reliable and well-balanced instruments. This model stands out with a modern approach to oud making, combining refined aesthetics with excellent stability.
The soundboard is made from selected spruce, a reference wood in instrument making for its lightness and responsiveness. It provides a precise attack under the risha along with strong projection.
The bowl is crafted from high-quality Italian composite wood. This construction offers excellent resistance to climate variations while maintaining good resonance and powerful projection. The visual result is particularly striking, with unique natural patterns.
This type of design ensures greater long-term stability, making the instrument less sensitive to humidity and temperature changes while delivering a consistent and reliable sound.
The fingerboard is made from wenge, a dense wood that provides excellent playing comfort and precision. The ebony pegs ensure stable tuning and long-term durability.
This oud produces a powerful, warm and well-projected sound, ideal for expressive playing with strong presence across the tonal spectrum.
This model is an excellent choice for musicians looking for a reliable, modern and stable instrument suited for regular use and demanding environments.
The instrument comes with a padded gig bag and three rishas.
