Wengé is an extremely difficult wood to work with, but Yahya has built a masterclass Oud out of it. Every part of this oud has been built of this highly figured exotic looking wood. And the sound is nothing less than it's stunning look.
Buyer's comment:
"Dear Morty,
the oud arrived safely! Well, you are certainly not getting it back!!! Playability is excellent and sound very rich with great potential! I have several ouds of very prestigious parentage, and this one is as good as any of them but with a subtle something different.... maybe because it's iranian....? Thanks for this!
