Description
Product Details

This oud is designed for musicians seeking a powerful, warm and deeply resonant sound, while benefiting from a comfortable and responsive instrument, suitable for both expressive playing and traditional or contemporary repertoires.

The bowl, made from wenge and padauk, combines two woods with complementary acoustic characteristics.
Wenge provides depth, stability and tonal density, while padauk contributes projection, clarity and strong presence in the midrange. This combination gives the instrument a rich, balanced and enveloping timbre.

The Canadian red cedar soundboard, carefully selected, plays a central role in the tonal identity of this model. It brings warmth, playing flexibility and immediate responsiveness, while maintaining excellent tonal breadth. The result is a particularly round sound with excellent resonance and a very pleasant dynamic response.

The ebony fingerboard ensures optimal playing comfort, high durability and excellent precision under the fingers.
The rosewood tuning pegs provide reliable tuning stability while blending harmoniously with the overall aesthetics of the instrument.

The Sultan MH960 stands out for its serious build quality, clean finishes and convincing sound, making it an excellent choice for intermediate to advanced musicians wishing to move toward a more expressive oud with greater projection.

The oud is delivered with a lightly padded soft case, ideal for daily transport, as well as 3 rishas (plectra).
