Professional Egyptian Wooden Oud

Professional Wooden Oud

This is our authentic Professional Egyptian Oud. This oud is sold other places for $500 to $800. Most Ouds are primarily for display, this one is for professional players. The Oud is wonderfully crafted with fine wood. It has 4 double strings and 1 single string on it already. A total of 9 strings, with 3 extra knobs for more strings. The oud has very intricate carved wood covers for the sound holes. There are three of them. The largest one measures 5 inches in diameter. The two other ones measure 2 1/2 inches in diameter. The wood sound covers provide a better tone quality compared to other plastic ones. The neck and back are a beautiful dark wood. This is all done in Egypt by some of the greatest Oud makers. Here are the measurements for the Oud: The front of the Oud from the beginning of the head (where the strings are attached) to the bottom of the Oud is 38 inches The front of the Oud only (from bottom to end of neck) is 29 inches The width of the center of the front side is 14 inches The diameter around the center of the front and back is 38 inches This is an Oud that you can play and then display as a beautiful piece of art.
