Oud Tarablic Barada

The spruce top provides excellent resonance and a balanced response across the full tonal range while maintaining good projection.

The bowl is made from walnut and ash, a combination that offers both warmth and clarity. This structure enhances deep bass tones and well-defined mid frequencies.

The oud features a traditional configuration with round soundholes and elegant rosettes. This design produces a more internal sound, typical of old Syrian ouds, with a deep and expressive tonal character.

The short walnut fingerboard and ebony pegs ensure comfortable playability and stable tuning.

Khaled Halabi comes from a family of Syrian luthiers. Now based in Canada, he combines Middle Eastern craftsmanship with modern building techniques to create reliable instruments with an authentic oriental sound.

This model is an excellent choice for musicians looking for a traditional oud with strong character and solid construction.

The oud comes with a padded gig bag and 3 rishas.
