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! Review: Sounds, feels, and looks amazing - Buying an Oud online without listening to, playing, and seeing it "in person" was a unique experience for me, especially for an instrument I'll be using with the active Middle Eastern Music ensemble I perform with. After receiving and playing this I'm glad I did! Musicians know the importance of the feel of an instrument and this one has the perfect feel. It sounds absolutely amazing, and after playing it a while I realized it's also a beautiful instrument. The photos here of it on desertcart look quite good but really capturing an instrument's true being in a photograph is, in my view, impossible. Highly recommended. ## Features - Bridge To Nut: 60cm | Bowl 51cm | Width 38cm - it has a deeply resonant sound with good projection and a very good action – for comfortable playing - Material: Walnut Bowl | Spruce Face | Ebony Pegs - it comes with extra strings, plectrum and SOFTCASE - Handmade ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 35 Reviews | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Sala Muzik - **Color:** Walnut - **Top Material Type:** Spruce - **Back Material Type:** Walnut - **String Material Type:** Phosphor Bronze - **Finish Type:** Varnish - **Instrument:** Oud - **Operation Mode:** Manual - **Number of Strings:** 11 - **Manufacturer:** Sala Muzik ## Images ![Arabic Handmade Walnut String Instrument Oud Ud AAO-108 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61XOyBFjm-L.jpg) ![Arabic Handmade Walnut String Instrument Oud Ud AAO-108 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Av6CNFWgL.jpg) ![Arabic Handmade Walnut String Instrument Oud Ud AAO-108 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51-fKasEqCL.jpg) ![Arabic Handmade Walnut String Instrument Oud Ud AAO-108 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Yzmlmmo7L.jpg) ![Arabic Handmade Walnut String Instrument Oud Ud AAO-108 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51SJAXVHi-L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this considered beginner or professional?** A: This is considered as professional **Q: Where this Oud was made?** A: Made in Turkey **Q: Is the instrument tuned to standard tuning ?** A: Absolutely not!! The tuning for Arabic Oud from biggest to smallest string is C FF AA DD GG CC You will destroy the instrument if you tried to tune it to E A D G B E which is standard tuning! **Q: Is the instrument tuned prior to delivery?** A: The instrument is not turned prior to the delivery primarily because it will be traveling via airline through time zones and multiple temperatures putting unnecessary pressure on its bridge, tuning pegs and strings ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Impressed *by O***D on July 9, 2024* This is my second Oud.

The general movement of trying to simply hold it caused it to crack right down the middle. Seems like it’s made of balsa wood or some novelty item. Very disappointing for the price. ## Frequently Bought Together - Arabic Handmade Walnut String Instrument Oud Ud AAO-108 - 6 Pcs Professional Oud Risha Pick Mizrab Ud String Musical Instrument SOP-206 - Oud Stand Portable Foldable Stand For Oud Ud Aoud String Musical Instrument KOS-204 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/36774469-arabic-handmade-walnut-string-instrument-oud-ud-aao-108](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/36774469-arabic-handmade-walnut-string-instrument-oud-ud-aao-108) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-06-07*
