As breathtaking as the first morning of spring with its promise of the coming warmth of sunlight, this 2016 Mohammadi Bros oud is a work of art fit to breathe new life into your compositions--and your collection. Plucked harmonics yield haunting overtones, and the trebles shimmer with a focused edge, but don't overpower the balance between the bass and middle registers, which are themselves expressive and rich. And how could the voice be any less resplendent? Mohammadi Bros blessed the gorgeous flamed maple, whose bee's wing figure gives the oud a sun-kissed golden hue, with an Engelmann Spruce top to ensure the tone of this oud. The tone of this beauty is comprehensive, articulate, and inspirational. With the same flamed maple neck, the rich warmth is amplified further.
Designed to be the perfect oud in mind, this oud maintains the elusive crispness, thanks no doubt to that Engelmann Spruce top and the unflagging craftsmanship of Mohammadi Bros Ouds. If you're looking for an oud that inspires as much for its appearance as its voice, your search is over: this "girl" is plucked for you.
Engelmann Spruce is a great choice to go with Maple as it adds a bit of warmth and depth to the brilliant and powerful Maple tone.
