I think the best child's oud should have the same string length as a standard oud, in order to simplify the string gauges. I have a 51cm
child's oud and it is difficult to find the right strings. I heard once from Simon Shaheen, if I remember correctly, and others here may be able
to corroborate, that his oud as a child had only a smaller body, but the same scale as a standard oud. Try Yilmaz Ipek, or Saddetin Sandi. They have
small ouds.

Childs oud
Alim,
There is a small oud for sale on Ebay.
It looks a bit rough, so I would ask a lot of questions. However, there is a maker's label inside. I cannot read it from the posted picture.
Check it out. Maybe it's OK.

Best wishes.

Hey alim,
When I first decided to play oud, I told my mom to bring a oud from Libya. She brought A child's practice oud that was really bad quality and
I could barely play it. As far as your eleven year old, you might just want to get him a full size oud but get something that is smaller in size. The
oud I bought after that was a turkish oud becuase the size was small and I was able to hold it comfortably. Buying an adult oud might be a better idea
becuase he can use when he grows a little.

Aren't those smaller in size, possibly enough for an 11 year old.
