These are the first sound right out of the box. Let me know what you think. MattOud - 10-8-2021 at 07:46 AM
Sounds absolutely fantastic Navid!
So, what tuning pegs are on this that are so smooth? are these wittner's? Of all things i dislike most of playing my ouds is having to tune them
without good tuners...what a pain it can be...
This beauty has a very punchy sounding sustain/reverb. I like it alot!
Cheers,
Matt
ps: i really like Sala as a company so far. My wife has bought me several things from them and it always comes fast and packaged well, and good
products all around.suz_i_dil - 10-8-2021 at 11:53 AM
I'll just make a contribution regarding the varnish.
Shellack is is time consuming, so expensive, but in my point of view the only solution to be used. Great
I'm just getting out spending some hours taking of a polyurethan varnish of the soundboard of an oud. The result is astonishing. i think synthetic
varnished on ouds soundboard are to be avoided. 2 times i have this direct exemple, being able to compare the oud before and after taking off the
varnish.
Those synthetic varnished kill the sound. More or less depending how thick they are done, but anyway don't have the brillance of real shellac and i
dont feel them any advantage on the sound
congrats on the new oud ! majnuunNavid - 10-9-2021 at 02:47 AM

Hi Matt,
They are just well fitted and I think there is some graphite on the pegs to make it even smoother. Still get a tiny bit of clicking on the bone nut,
but it's very minimal. CumbusOud - 7-17-2022 at 07:22 AM
Hi Navid,
I did not see you opened this topic before. Thank you for that
