Here is a Custom Made Professional Turkish Oud built by Bülent Eryalman in October of 2013 in İzmir, Turkey. There is a label telling the exact date and the signature of the maker inside of the oud.

It's in excellent condition, like brand new.

It has a very nice, deep sound with a beautifully balanced sustain as expected from a Turkish Oud.

It does not get out of tune. You tune it and play it for a long time, that's it. This is guaranteed.

It has such a nice look, you can even feel the wood with your hand, as it has a matt polish which makes its look amazing.

Specifics:

Bowl: African Padauk
Soundboard: Turkish spruce
Pegs: Indian Rosewood
Rosettes: Macassar Ebony
Fingerboard: Madagaskar Ebony
Pickguard: Walnut

As you can see, high quality materials are used with an excellent craftsmanship.

The pegs are designed and built in a special way. Thus, the strings are easy to stay tuned and long performances are easy to manage.

The price is £800 but open to offers.

It's currently in Turkish Tuning with 0.9 medium strings. However, you could get 0.10 strings and swift to Arabic Tuning if you like. It is easy to do so.

It comes with a handmade gig bag which is strong and in high quality, not like ordinary bags.

Collection in person from Leeds, UK only. Come, play it and buy it if you like.

If you have any questions, pls get in touch.

Thanks for looking.
