It includes 5 wound nylon strings and 6 rectified nylon strings, as well as a fixed lacewood bridge. The body and neck are made from Lacewood and the bowl has white pinstripes in between each wooden stave. The neck and tuning pegs/ levers are made out of Lacewood. Its soundboard is made from spruce wood and has a very natural look with variations of wood tone. It has three circle shaped sound holes, one larger one in the centre and two smaller ones below on the sides. Each has a beautiful Goat skin Rosette design. There is also a walnut pick guard at bottom to help prevent scratching soundboard when playing. This oud contains a great selection of woods and wonderful craftsmanship.
