Maker: Zeryab - Damascus (Zeryab Oud). Top: Pure Swedish wood with a warm resonant sound. Back (Bowl): Distinctive mix of walnut and rosewood. Pegs and Strings: 12 durable wooden pegs (6 strings). Inlay: Elegant mosaic and mother-of-pearl on the edges and rosettes. Comes with a case and a set of picks. The oud has been adjusted and tuned for string height (action) by a specialized technician; the strings are now close to the fretboard, making playing smooth, light on the fingers, and very comfortable during improvisations and long playing sessions without any hand strain.
