عود گردویی دست‌ساز عربی AAO-108

It sounds amazing great guitar.

Arrived to Australia in 4 days, very impressed with the fast processing and shipping. The Oud is super beautiful, arrived safe and free from any damages, very well packaged. Thank you Sala Music :) will definitely buy from you again

This is my second Oud. I purchased the first one for the same price and it simply wasn't as high of quality in a few regards. I'm a beginner with the Oud, but I play over a dozen instruments and also design virtual software instruments. That is too say, I'm not experienced enough to compare this broadly, but I have a good enough ear and enough experience to say if I like it personally.The finish on this is excellent. My other oud from a different company had several imperfections such as cracking glaze around the joints and minor cracks on the soundboard. This one had almost no imperfections, just a minor discoloration of the glaze in one inconspicuous place. 4.8 out of 5 on finish. It's really beautiful. The symmetry of all the sound holes and pickguard on the front isn't my favorite design, but you can see that in the photos and it's personal taste. The back looks superb, it really exceeds my expectations overall. It looks impressive.The sound really left nothing to be desired for me, it plays well, it sounds great. Good fret height, resonant, good sustain, fun to slide and pitch bend. 5 out of 5!The tuning is better than my first oud which basically would be off 1 to 2 semitones after sitting for a day. This one needs to be returned every few times I play it, potentially every day if I'm picky. From my reading, this is normal. I wish it was less. It's much more finicky than a basic guitar, but I suppose that's expected. I may try some peg compound on it to see if that improves anything. This is my only complaint, but I think it's to be expected. It does tune easily, so 4 out of 5.The carrying case it comes with is just thin fabric, no padding. It was packed in a nice form fitting styrofoam case that I've kept for transport. It included spare strings and risha (picks).Overall, I love this instrument, I play it daily, and the quality exceeded my expectations for the price. It also arrived early. 5 stars easily.I loved the sound of the oud for years but always thought it would be too difficult to learn and to find a good one. I've somehow found it more natural than guitar or cello to play (fret stickers help), and this one doesn't make me feel like I'll need to upgrade anytime in the foreseeable future.I don't often write reviews but this one was dear to me!

Excellent

Since I’m a beginner, I’m trying to find an instrument that has excellent quality and within a reasonable price. This instrument checks all the points! Its quality is very good compared to others I tried. I highly recommend this product to anyone interested in playing Oud, whether you’re a beginner or a professional musician.
