Sylent-oud / Electric instrument for traveling
Hi
This is my new electric oud
Here a video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kjGWdLnCSE
(INPI registered design N°2018/4968)
- Without its removable bows : 710x130x55mm
- lightweight : 1.9kg
Through a deal with Jean Baptiste Lorin, french guitar maker, I learned to make it.

Putting such bows to an electric thing does not make it an oud, though a nice try !
Good luck
Yours indeed

The acoustic oud is big and generally fragile. And electric oud are generally with the very large and not flat pegbox !
So that's why i tried to keep the ergonomics, but rethought to travel.
The result is little bit special but sensation are very close.
Of course tuning and strings are exactly the same ...

Hello there,
I am new to this forum and happy to discover it!
Sorry to criticize in this first message but I have to be honest, this is not an Oud! I agree with Alfaraby.

Thank you Christian1095
That is already possible to produce several sylent-oud. The instrument maker who helped me to make this prototype will do the next serie ...
Don't hesitate to ask more questions.

Nice concept and good sound!
I have two questions:
1-What kind of microfone are you using?
2- How much does it cost?
Best luck with your project.
The wood might be dead, but the oud is alive.

Thank you Luttgutt !
A basic guitar piezo microphone is used for this prototype. We will change to an higher quality for another one.
The price is the same as a handmade guitar in france. This is a handmade produce, not industrial ...

I don't care if it is or isn't an oud — I like it — bravo! I would also like to know ± the price (and cost of shipping to the US, if it i easy to
calculate).

Hi Multi Kulti
Not a big secret ! The price is known by people interested. If you are interested you ask me, you will know quickly !...
By the way, i did a pedagogical video one month ago.
This is my "travel mode" with a rockplug and a very small speaker (fixed on the rear bow)

Hi Lute
Overpriced ... not sure. An handmade work by a french guitarmaker for this price is not expensive ... It depends if you want a basic or enduring
instrument.
