Overview

A spruce soundboard over a mahogany back and body forms this Turkish oud, strung with nylon and finished in brown varnish.

The reason to consider it is the ready-to-play package: a spruce and mahogany build with spare strings, a plectrum and a soft case. The limit is the absence of tuning, scale length, fret and warranty information.

Who it's for

A newcomer to Turkish music who wants a complete starter setup. Advanced players who need documented tuning, build details or a hard case should look to a specialist maker.

Performance notes

The spruce top is the soundboard that radiates the sound, and the mahogany bowl shapes the response. Nylon strings provide the plucked tone, played with the included plectrum. Scale length is unstated, so intonation and reach are unknown.
