Al Ablaq $500
Named after the alternating limestone and basalt pattern found in Levantine architecture, the Al Ablaq pairs maple and wenge strips on the bowl to echo that contrast. A 6-string oud tuned to Ccc (Do-Do), with a solid cedar soundboard, fixed bridge, and ebony pegs.

The maple and wenge combination produces a bright, articulate tone with clear separation between notes — well suited for both Arabic maqam playing and contemporary settings.

Includes a padded carry bag and custom INAQ rishas. Handcrafted in Lebanon.

Essaouira $450
Named after the Moroccan coastal city where warm sunset tones meet weathered stone, the Essaouira pairs mahogany and walnut on the bowl — the reddish mahogany for the coastal light, the walnut for the old rampart rock. A 6-string oud tuned to Ccc (Do-Do), with a solid cedar soundboard, fixed bridge, and ebony pegs.

The mahogany and walnut combination delivers a warm, full-bodied tone with strong low-mid presence — well suited for expressive Arabic maqam playing and lyrical phrasing.

Includes a padded carry bag and custom INAQ rishas. Handcrafted in Lebanon.

The Classic $250
The Classic pairs walnut and beechwood, two of the most widely used tonewoods in traditional Levantine oud making. This combination has been a staple of workshop production across the region for generations, chosen for its reliability and balanced sonic character. A 6-string oud tuned to Ccc (Do-Do), with a solid cedar soundboard, ebony pegs, fixed bridge, veneer fingerboard, and three circular soundboard holes.
The walnut-beechwood bowl produces a warm, even tone with good clarity across the registers. The cedar top adds responsiveness and a slightly darker tonal color compared to spruce, giving the instrument a softer, more expressive voice. A solid entry point for students and an honest working instrument for experienced players.
