عود عربي ممتاز SALA-A8
- متوفر بكميات محدودة – جاهز للشحن
استخدم عود عربي ممتاز SALA-A8 is a Luthier's Choice instrument from our Sala line — built to deliver the deep, warm Arabic oud voice characteristic of Cairo, Damascus, and Aleppo traditions. Hand-built in Istanbul with selected tonewoods, this oud sits at the most popular price point for serious Arabic music students worldwide.
Arabic oud vs Turkish oud — picking the right one
Arabic ouds are tuned lower (typically C2 G2 A2 D3 G3 C4 from low to high) and use larger bowl bodies and floating bridges to produce a deeper, more sustained tone — the sound most associated with Egyptian and Levantine maqam traditions. Turkish ouds are tuned higher with smaller bodies, producing a brighter, more pronounced upper-mid voice favored in Ottoman classical and modern Turkish makam. The SALA-A8 is purpose-built for Arabic tuning and idiom — choosing between Arabic and Turkish oud is the most important decision before any other oud feature.

الأسئلة الشائعة
Can I tune this oud to Turkish tuning?
Technically yes, but the bowl size, neck length, and string scaling are optimized for Arabic tuning. Turkish tuning on an Arabic oud produces compromised tone and intonation. Buy a Turkish oud for Turkish music — see our Turkish oud collection.
Is the bowl glued or floating?
The bowl is fully glued with traditional fish-glue construction.
What plectrum (risha) is included?
A standard plastic risha designed for Arabic oud strings. Many advanced players prefer traditional turtle-shell or horn rishas — these are available as add-ons.
How often do I need to change strings?
Casual practice: every 3–6 months. Daily practice or performance: every 1–3 months. Single bass strings tend to last longer than the paired courses.
Do you offer hardshell cases?
Yes — a hardshell case is available as an add-on at checkout (recommended for international shipping or travel).
