Ouds are delicate instruments. They have hallow and bulky bodies. Unlike guitars they can easily be damaged during shipping, transporting, carrying. We have combined our years of oud crafting experience to produce the optimal solution to moving these fragile instruments around. Our oud cases offer maximum protection via their padded structure, bump pad and extra protection at the bottom. All come with shoulder straps and extra pouches with zipper bags to carry your plectrums, tuners, extra string sets and sheet music. All have been tested by oud players around the world. They can hold ouds with bowl depths of up to 9 inches. Our cases have been designed to hold all types of ouds : bigger bodied Arabic ouds as well as Turkish ouds. Well worth the investment to protect your prized instrument.
