I knew I had to make a video comparing Oud sounds.
It was 5 years ago I made the Ultimate Oud Buyer’s Guide. Back then I didn’t actually have a few examples of these Ouds in real life to actually hear them side to side.
Now, I have a few that I can show you in ONE video that showcases THREE different Ouds.
The Ouds…
Iraqi Oud
Maker: Faik Fadel
String length: 58.5 cm
Tuning: F-F
Turkish-made Arabic Oud
Maker: Yildirim Palabiyik
String length: 58.5 cm
Tuning: C-C
Greek-made Syrian Oud
Maker: Dimitri Rapakousious
String length: 61.5 cm
Tuning: C-C
Here’s the video. Tell me which you sounds the best to you.
Hi Navid,
After listening several times…..my first choice is Dimitri, 2nd goes Yildrim. It all depends on what one wants to compair? At least this is my thought. I would be proud to own anyone of the Ouds..
