The Turkish De Luxe Oud from the house of Thomann features eleven strings and an additional twelfth peg that offers two optional strings for the sixth course. With this instrument, you can add the evergreen flavour of the Middle East to your compositions. The spruce top offers a high fundamental-to-overtone ratio and helps retain sound clarity even when subjected to a heavy attack. This oud can be tuned to E-A-B-e-a-d. The lacewood composition of the body translates into rich, bright tones. Maple on the neck imparts adequate strength and stability, as the tonewood variety is resistant to environmental variations. The walnut fretboard offers enhanced sustain.
