Special Rosewood Oud by Yildirim Palabiyik

Selling my one of a kind special Custom East-Indian Rosewood Premium Oud which was manufactured by Masterluthier Yildirim Palabiyik in Izmir (March 2024). It is the first and only existing 5 stringed al Kamil Oud (archaic Oud) from Master Palabiyik.

The Instrument was always stored in the humidity-controlled Studio (45-60% RH).

The Instrument has a phenomenal Soundscape, extraordinary Monitoring and a one of kind Timber due to the special woods used. It vibrates so unique with no artificial buzzing at all. Very clear, dominant, powerful with sprakling tops (especially when fluorcarbon is used for the high Strings). Bracing system: arabic. It is surprisingly lightweight, so you will be able to play for hours without exhaustion. The fretboard got an additional extrafine-tuning in September 2025 at a high-precision luthier for perfect straightness (measured and fine-tuned the fretboard in micrometer-precision). Pure Silk under the fingers. Pegs working very smooth and keeping perfect tuning (also fine-tuned at the high-precision luthier 2025)
