Hello. I know that some people make travel ouds here but they are mostly Arabic, I think. When I go away later this year I will mostly likely have to
take a travel oud since I do not want to leave it two weeks without playing. Or I can take my own oud with a hard case but my preference is for a
travel oud.
Does anyone here make Turkish travel ouds and can you give a roundabout figure? It would have to be relatively inexpensive though if it were custom.
Thanks.

Hi Lysander,
there was a post about a silentTtravel oud in the forum from sylud
Dont know about the scale, but it looks strong enough to be tuned turkish.
Cheers

Hi Lysander
Indeed i designed an oud for travel called "Sylent-oud".
I make it with a good french guitar maker and now you can buy one for 1590 euros. This is a hand made instrument very handy for travel, very
compact.
String lenght is 585 mm like a turkish oud. No problem to play with turkish tuning. Neck is consolidated with ebony rod.
You will find details and videos on http://sylentoud.canalblog.com/
Don't hesitate to ask question.
