Overview
A cedar and ebony top over a wenge back forms the resonating body of this oud, which carries eleven nylon strings. It is built full size and finished in varnish.
The reason to consider it is the complete starter bundle, with spare strings, picks and a carrying bag in the package. The limitation is that the listing offers no neck, scale or tuning information.
Who it's for
Players starting on the oud, or giving one as a gift, will find the accessories useful to begin. Left-handed buyers, and anyone who needs exact measurements, should look for a listing that states them.
Pros and cons
- Cedar and ebony top
- Extra strings and picks included
- Dimensions and scale length absent
- Tuning not described
Performance notes
The top is the part that vibrates most, so its cedar and ebony makeup governs projection, while the wenge back reflects the sound outward. Nylon strings give a softer attack than metal. The picks supplied set the attack, and the tuning is left for the player to set.
