Liwan Oud

Named after the traditional gathering space in old Damascene homes, the Liwan Oud reflects hospitality, artistry, and architectural elegance.

It draws from a place where family and guests gathered in warmth, conversation, and shared appreciation for beauty.

With its flame maple bowl, spruce soundboard, and natural seashell inlay, it makes an immediate impression of refinement and presence. The figured maple brings a luminous, flowing texture to the back, while the front detailing, from the rosette framing to the fingerboard and edge work, gives the instrument a highly finished, unmistakably premium character.

Within the Tarablic collection, Liwan stands as a true statement model. For the customer, it offers the full expression of what a premium Tarablic oud can be: heritage, craftsmanship, visual sophistication, and a strong musical identity, all brought together in one instrument. Every element feels more elevated here, not only in decoration, but in the overall sense of balance, intention, and presentation. Liwan is designed for players and collectors who want an oud with commanding beauty and a clearly distinguished place in the collection.

Its flame maple construction suggests a sound with clarity, projection, and refined responsiveness. Maple often brings focus, articulation, and a clean tonal edge, while the spruce soundboard helps add openness, resonance, and musical sensitivity under the hand. Together, these points to an oud with a clear attack, strong presence, and an expressive voice that stays defined across the range.

Liwan is a strong choice for serious players and premium buyers seeking a visually exceptional oud with elegant power, polished response, and unmistakable presence.
