Crafted with Quality Materials and Traditional Techniques

Zeryab oud instruments are built using carefully selected tonewoods known for their warm and resonant acoustic properties. Common materials include cedar soundboards for clarity and responsiveness, paired with walnut or hardwood bowls that enhance depth and projection—key characteristics of traditional Arabic oud sound.

A Sound That Reflects the Soul of Middle Eastern Music

The oud is one of the most iconic instruments in Arabic music, valued for its deep, warm, and expressive tone. As a fretless lute-type instrument, it allows subtle pitch variations, slides, and microtonal expression that are essential to classical maqam and regional musical styles.
