Faruk Türünz Oud Shop is an artisan oud workshop in Istanbul, specializing in handmade Turkish, Arabic and Iraqi ouds. Each instrument is made in a small traditional workshop with particular attention to the soundboard, acoustic response and individual character of the oud.
Faruk Türünz’s work combines decades of hands-on craftsmanship with ongoing research into soundboard design, brace tuning and acoustics. From single and double soundboard instruments to custom ouds for professional musicians, each instrument is made with the aim of achieving a distinctive and responsive sound.
For musicians looking beyond mass-market instruments, our workshop offers the opportunity to discover an oud made directly by its maker, with worldwide shipping from Istanbul.
