Welcome! We’re Daoud and Bahij Arbach, luthiers in Ottawa, Canada.
We developed the Arbach Oud out of a love for the oud itself, but also from a desire to help learners and players experience new dimensions in sound.
Frustrated by the sound quality of standard ouds, we decided that we would create our own, with major innovations in design and construction. Our guiding principle was optimum sound quality.
If you’re frustrated and disappointed with the tuning, resonance, or sound depth of your oud, we’ll show you how we created a new kind of musical instrument with superior construction and sound quality.
The Arbach Oud is completely different from other ouds. Find out how we constructed it!
