hi whisperofthe oud,
if you really want to know what i think of this oud then i have to say that i think these electric ouds sound horrible, regardless of the maker. i do
not mean to say that the makers construct the instruments badly but that the very concept just doesnt work for my ears. for 1400$ you can buy a very
high quality real oud and install a transducer (i use barcus berry transducers for my high end ouds) and end up with a wonderful instrument. dont
waste your money on these things, unless you are trying to achieve the bizarre and certainly not authentic sound that comes out of them. again, i do
not mean to say that the makers are bad craftsmen, just that i think your money would be better spent on a traditional oud. there is no need to
improve on perfection.
just my thoughts,
amos

In my opinion as electric ouds go, this is one of the more attractive ones. Nice lines and beautiful grain in the wood. I would like to suggest to ALL
builders of electric ouds that they try a B-Band pickup instead of the Peizo pickups. The installation is about the same (under the saddle ribbon) but
the technology is different. I use a B-Band on my classical guitar and it is WAY better than the Peizo type pickups. The Yamaha company has also used
the B-Band in their "Silent Guitar" series. I have one of these and of course it does not sound like an acoustic guitar, but has a sound of its own
that is quite pleasing. To me the Peizo ribbon sound is horrible on any instrument. So, I'm issuing a challenge to any builder of these solid body
electric ouds to do better than the Peizo sound. Try the B-Band and let us know what you think, or better still, try the B-Band and ask the opinion of
some oud players. I am not an official endorser of the B-Band by the way. I just think that the Peizo is Stinko.

If the maker can make the installation correct,the sound of electric oud will not be horrible.It will sounds like natural sound of the acoustic oud.

Hello Haluk,
Personally I have never heard a guitar or electric oud sound like an acoustic as long as they were using a Peizo pickup. I contend that the Peizo
has its own sound that does not reproduce the natural sound of an instrument, but instead colors it in a very unnatural way, especially the string
attack. I am not the only one with this opinion. If you can post a sound clip of an electric oud that sounds like an acoustic I'd love to hear it.

Well Haluk, I can't say that it sounds like an acoustic oud, but I eat my words because I don't think it is a bad sound. If you are using a Peizo
pickup it is the first time that I have not heard that artificial sound that is generally associated with Peizos. I'm really surprised and can only
attribute it to what you said: the way you have done the installation. Hats off to you!

This is one of the prettier electric ouds that I've seen. The cutaway is smart. (I'd love to hear and play it) However, when I eventually buy an
electric oud, I will probably go for a flat-back but otherwise traditional style instrument, and likely will use K&K mini soundboard style
transducers. That, for me, would be the ultimate electric oud...

Haluk,
I am interested in this flat back electric oud. Could you please email me with all the particulars: price with mechanical tuners, choices/options of
woods used; options for decoration; do you have access to K&K pure western mini pickups, is hardshell case included, shipping cost to AZ
85716 USA, etc? Also, lead time as to how long it would take you to build one for me, and what sort of deposit you might need. Also, are you able to
accept payment through PayPal?
My email is pauldata AT hotmail DOT com.
If you cannot get the K&K pickups, perhaps I can buy them and ship them to you for installation. They are glued to the interior of the soundboard
directly underneath the bridge, and give a much more natural sound than typical under saddle piezos. Also, they are passive and require no batteries,
and no cut-out on the side of the instrument for volume, EQ, etc.
Thanks,
-Paul
PS: also, please quote the price of your standard flat back instrument, as pictured, with the usual electronics that you use, case, shipping, etc.
