Discover this Egyptian oud crafted by luthier Khaled Azooz, a handmade instrument that offers an excellent balance between build quality, authentic tone and elegant aesthetics. This model belongs to the intermediate / advanced range of the maker and is an ideal choice for musicians looking for an expressive oud rooted in Middle Eastern tradition.
The bowl is made of maple, a wood appreciated for its ability to produce a balanced, clear and warm sound. Maple allows for beautiful projection and strong tonal definition while preserving excellent roundness in the lower frequencies.
The spruce soundboard brings precision, responsiveness and projection. This traditional tonewood allows the oud to develop a dynamic and expressive voice, perfectly suited to the nuances of Oriental playing.
This model also stands out thanks to its single soundhole configuration, a feature that luthier Khaled Azooz especially appreciates for achieving a very pure and deeply Oriental (“sharki”) sound. This acoustic design favors more focused resonance and often deeper bass response than certain three-soundhole models, giving the instrument a highly authentic and musical character.
The ebony fingerboard and ebony pegs ensure excellent tuning stability and optimal playing comfort. The instrument is also enhanced with fine decorative details and mother-of-pearl inlays around the rosette and the edges, adding discreet elegance to the overall design.
Fitted with 11 professional Kürschner strings, this oud offers remarkable tonal precision and excellent response under the fingers. It comes with a lightly padded gig bag to protect the instrument during transport.
