Syrian ouds are grouped under the Arabic oud branch. It is known by everyone that the Arabic oud is the most preferred oud among the oud varieties used in the world. It owes its popularity to its romantic, rich sound and deep timbre. The overtones generated by Syrian ouds are more vibrant. 

The soundbox of the Syrian ouds are heavier than the bowls of Turkish ouds since they have to stay solid against the heat and temperature differences. Their bowls are also bigger than Turkish ouds, and their sizes are almost standardized. It has been told that Syrian ouds have exceptional sonority and they have been famous as of the 19th century thanks to their maker, the Nahhat Brothers. The members of this family were as craftsmen, on a small scale. The members of the Nahhat family are the masters who gave the oud its pear shape, and they have produced extraordinary instruments following their research about the sonority of wood.

Now, Syrian ouds pursue this tradition and are renowned for their exquisite timbre. Like Turkish ouds, Syrian ouds have six courses, five courses each with a pair of strings, and one course with a single string. The extra string in the bass enables the instrument to generate more pitches and more color with microtones. The bowls, faces, and pegs of our Syrian ouds are all of high quality. The materials used in the bowls of the Syrian ouds vary from walnut to plane and mahogany. Their faces are from spruce, while the tuning pegs and fingerboards are constructed from ebony.
