This beautiful intermediate oud is handcrafted in Egypt by luthier Khaled Azooz, known for offering reliable, well-balanced and accessible instruments without compromising on build quality. This model stands out with its elegant wenge and maple bowl, a refined combination that offers both a striking visual contrast and a warm, deep and balanced sound.
Wenge brings density, character and beautiful tonal depth, with a strong presence in the midrange and bass. Maple balances the instrument by adding clarity, definition and projection, while highlighting a naturally elegant contrast on the bowl.
The soundboard is made of spruce, a reference wood in instrument making, appreciated for its lightness, responsiveness and ability to provide a precise response under the risha.
The result is a warm, balanced and comfortable sound, with good projection and a controlled attack. This oud is particularly well suited for musicians looking for an expressive, accessible and evolving instrument to support their progress.
The fingerboard and pegs are made of ebony, ensuring tuning stability, playing precision and long-term durability.
This model is an excellent opportunity for musicians who want access to an oud made with noble woods while staying within a controlled budget. The combination of wenge and maple offers a particularly interesting visual and tonal personality in this price range.
The instrument comes with a padded gig bag for good protection, as well as three rishas.
