The shipping was incredibly fast! I got the oud from Istanbul within a week.It looked amazing, and came with two picks, a set of strings, and even a soft case - Thanks SalaMusik!!!It took me a day to finally to tune it right, but right after that, I started to have so much fund playing with it.The seller was super responsive and helped me a lot to find the right Oud for me.5 stars of 5 I totally recommend this product!

Not only is the instrument beautifully hand crafted and sounds exotic, but they sent me an extra set of strings, 2 rishas (not sure if I spelled that right), and an instrument case. This is the best package deal you could find!

I’m very happy I was able to find such an amazing Oud. It’s been my dream to own one. Honestly I was afraid to order at first because I’ve ordered things online and they weren’t as they appeared and described but this one was as it is on images and marketing. Great sound and quality and it is definitely worth the money. The only thing I didn’t like DHL delayed its delivery but the seller had great communication with me and DHL until I received it. I’m thankful that I was finally able to have my Oud and thanks to Salamuzik!!

So light, but beautiful sound. It feels quality, the resonance is incredible and the case it Comes with is nice. Wonderfully packaged.

Beautiful instrument. Been playing stringed instruments since early '60s and play guitar, mandolin, fiddle, banjo, ukelele, so I know a nice instrument when I see one! Had some minor rough finish spots on neck, which I fixed (deducted one star... should have been done by maker.) Sala shipped quickly, and packing was superb. Very playable with great resonance. Tuning B F# B e a d. Highly recommend the instrument and seller Sala!

Good quality playing oud at value price. Extremely well packaged for shipment. Nice soft case, extra set of strings, and two wonderful flexible plectrums included. I did need to treat the pegs with Hill's peg compound but so do those who own 17th century Italian violins! Wood on wood friction! I am very pleased with the company employees to whom I communicated my concerns and who responded promptly and with concise answers. I will use Sala instruments for further purchases without reservation. Good Turkish Company!

It does what it supposed to do. I enjoy playing it.

Great quality and beautiful instrument. Even more beautiful than in the pictures. It has a great tone, very deep resonation and perfect string action. Shipping was very fast. I was very happy to get my instrument a week before it's projected delivery date.
