Overview
A small music room or a student lesson is where this oud fits. It is a handmade Turkish instrument with a mahogany body, nylon strings and rosewood pegs, finished in natural color.
The reason to look at it is the comfortable low action and the bright sound, with accessories in the package. The limitation is that the top is called cedar in the specs and spruce in the description, and the warranty is brief.
Who it's for
Players who want an easy-to-fret oud for practice will like the low action. Buyers who need a lasting warranty, scale length or weight should check with the seller before ordering.
Pros and cons
- Low string action
- Rosewood pegs for tuning
- Mahogany back and body
- Spare strings and plectrum included
- Top wood listed two ways
- Dimensions and weight absent
Performance notes
A low string action reduces the pressure needed to fret notes, and rosewood pegs hold tuning better than plain wooden ones, according to the description. The top wood, listed as cedar or spruce, drives the bright tone. Nylon strings add a soft attack.
