A Note from Navid at OudforGuitarists
When I wanted to learn the Oud, the internet wasn't as it is today...
No eBay...
No Amazon...
You couldn't find an Oud.
It's easier now... but the problem is... there are so many options.
It's difficult to know what is reliable.
I've been helping people buy Ouds since 2013.
I know what you need in an Oud for an Oud learner or a professional.
The most important thing is comfort and reliability...
That's what you get when you order from OudforGuitarists...
You get an Oud that you can trust, that ships fast, that will arrive safely, that tunes up as easy as possible, that sounds good, and won't have you running to the repair shop...
The most reliable Ouds are made by Turkish builders. Turkish builders are building more and more Ouds for Arabic sound and taste. But they all have the extra benefit of superior craftsmanship and pride that goes into these Ouds. Not only that, they have superior sound sophistication that will distinguish your Oud from other Arabic Ouds.
I spend a lot of time emailing buyers back and forth answering their questions as best as I can, sharing my knowledge. I don't know everything, but I know what your basic needs are to help you decide on the best Oud for you. Ultimately, I go with luthiers I can trust.
The Ouds brought to you by EthnicMusical are the best because they are using the superior reliability of Turkish luthiers built to the taste of Arabic, Persian, and Kurdish Oud players.
“Hi Navid - I just received a new oud ("Shami PRO" Padouk/Mahogany/Cedar) from EthnicMusical which you had recommended and am absolutely delighted with it! Since I had already registered for your courses, I ordered directly from them and said that you had recommended me. With DHL express shipping it arrived in only 4 days (Colorado USA) safe and sound packed in the soft case packed in a hard case I also ordered. Before I discovered your work, I purchased/started on a base model which was frustrating at best.
This oud is warm and mellow, with a ring and resonance that is utterly delightful. It is obvious that careful attention was given to the fit of pegs in the pegbox, and tuning it has been a breeze. I was a professional cellist in my first career, and it is heavenly to have an ebony fingerboard and ebony pegs. Although look is secondary to sound for me, it is a beautifully crafted instrument, too."

“I recently purchased a Turkish Oud through Navid and could not be happier with the entire experience. Were it not for his willingness to graciously guide a newcomer along, I am sure I would still be struggling to understand where to even begin narrowing my options for what to pursue, and where to pursue it.
I was fortunate to land on Navid’s Oud for Guitarists site in my early research into the different types of Ouds, and I emailed to ask him a question about what seemed to me a somewhat blurry distinction between Arabic and Turkish models.
Navid responded to my email right away, and answered my question thoughtfully, thoroughly, and respectfully—the care taken in his answer garnered my initial trust, and this only grew with further correspondence. In our email exchanges, he mentioned that he had a reliable online source for Ouds that would match the standard of quality and price point I was looking for.
Never having played (or even so much as held) an Oud, however, I had several concerns about looking for an instrument to purchase online: I feared not knowing where to even start in assessing what type and sound I might be looking for; I feared that, once I found an Oud that I really liked, the actual sound and feel of the delivered instrument might not reflect the representation in an audio clip; I feared that the instrument, if not packed carefully, might be damaged in shipping… and in that case the whole process would have to begin anew.
Navid quickly helped me narrow my search, and even listened to a sound clip of the top contender on three different audio systems to ensure he was getting a full picture of the Oud’s personality (!). He really went the extra mile to make sure he was being as helpful as he could be.
I wound up ordering that Oud. I am thrilled that the instrument I received looks, plays, and sounds exactly as it was represented. It has great volume and sustain, an intriguing natural reverb, and has required no other set up than to tune the strings. It was packed exceptionally well—with paper, foam, and bubble wrap—and received in good order.
My experience purchasing my Oud has been extraordinarily good, and I would recommend the process to anyone looking for an instrument Navid offers."
