This beautiful intermediate oud is made in Egypt by luthier Khaled Azooz, known for offering reliable, balanced and accessible instruments without compromising on build quality. This model stands out thanks to the use of noble woods rarely found in this price range: a bowl made from padouk combined with spalted maple, offering both a remarkable visual identity and a warm tonal signature.
Padouk brings depth and tonal richness, while spalted maple, with its unique natural patterns, adds character and visual complexity to the instrument. Each oud therefore has its own wood variations.
The soundboard is made from spruce, a reference wood in instrument making, appreciated for its lightness and responsiveness. It provides a precise response under the risha as well as good sound projection.
The result is a soft, warm and balanced sound, ideal for comfortable and expressive playing, with good midrange presence and a controlled attack.
The fingerboard and pegs are made from ebony, ensuring tuning stability, playing precision and long-term durability.
This model is an excellent opportunity for musicians who want access to a noble-wood instrument while keeping a controlled budget, a combination still rare on the market.
The instrument comes with a padded gig bag for protection as well as three rishas.
