Turkish Oud Vega Walnut

The walnut wood bowl gives this oud a warmer and rounder sound than the maple version, with rich midrange frequencies and pleasing depth. Walnut is highly appreciated in lutherie for its balanced acoustic response, offering softness, projection and tonal stability.

The spruce soundboard perfectly complements the walnut bowl by adding clarity, responsiveness and sustain. This combination results in a full, soft and well-balanced sound, ideal for learning, progression and long practice sessions.

The ebony fingerboard and tuning pegs ensure good tuning stability, excellent durability and comfortable playability, even with regular use.

Although a hard case may appear in some photos, please note that the oud is supplied with a lightly padded soft case, suitable for daily transport and basic protection.

Original tuning: 11 strings, low Arabic tuning
Notes: C – G – D – A – F – C
Alternative tunings: F–F or D–D possible by changing strings

The oud is delivered with a lightly padded soft case and 3 reeshe (plectra).
