Ward Oud

Named after the rose, the Ward Oud reflects warmth, beauty, and expressive character. 

Its padauk and walnut bowl gives the instrument a rich visual presence, with deep contrast and a more dramatic personality than the softer look of walnut alone. From the front, the clean spruce soundboard and open soundholes keep the design focused and confident, while the natural wood detailing adds a traditional touch without making the instrument feel overly ornate.

Within the Tarablic collection, Ward stands out as a model with stronger visual depth and a more expressive identity. For the customer, it offers a beautiful balance between traditional craftsmanship and a bolder, natural-wood character. The bowl has a striking rhythm and warmth, and that visual richness gives Ward a more distinctive presence while staying true to the brand's refined, premium feel.

Its padauk and walnut construction suggests a sound with warmth, clarity, and a touch more projection and edge in the response. Walnut helps keep the tone balanced and grounded, while padauk can bring brightness, energy, and a lively sense of definition. Paired with a spruce soundboard, this points to an oud with a clear attack, good responsiveness, and a voice that feels both warm and articulate. Ward is a strong choice for players who want traditional character, dependable performance, and a more visually expressive oud with confident musical presence.
