Materials and construction
Oud bowls, soundboards, necks, fingerboards, bridges and pegs can use different materials and construction methods. Materials alone do not establish an instrument's sound or playability. Compare the complete specification and measurements for the individual model. The oud selection guide provides a general overview.
Acoustic and electric options
This collection focuses on Syrian oud models. If amplification is important, check whether the specific instrument lists a pickup, or browse the electric oud collection. Confirm all electronics and output details on the product page.
FAQ
What makes an oud Syrian?
The label refers to an oud associated with Syrian or Syrian-influenced building traditions within the wider Arabic oud family. Construction details vary, so compare the maker, dimensions, materials, scale and tuning stated for the individual instrument.
How is a Syrian oud tuned?
Tuning and string configuration can vary by model and player. Follow the tuning stated for the exact instrument and string set. The Turkish oud tuning guide concerns a different regional approach and should not be assumed to apply to every Syrian oud.

String tension and tuning can change during transport. Follow the product-specific guidance after delivery and adjust gradually using the tuning specified for the instrument.
What comes with the oud?
Cases, strings, risha picks and other accessories vary by model. Only assume an item is included when it appears in the product's package-content list. Related items are available under oud accessories.
