History crafted in wood
Vintage Oud was founded by Roy El Asmar, a Lebanese oud player and expert in vintage Arabic ouds.
He began collecting and selling vintage ouds in 2018 and quickly gained recognition among collectors and musicians worldwide.
What started as a personal passion soon grew into a dedicated pursuit of collecting rare and historic Oud instruments.
With time, few ouds became many and a private collection evolved into a trusted international destination for authentic vintage ouds.

A Legacy of Authentic Sound
We focus exclusively on authentic old ouds crafted by prestigious old makers.
Each instrument in our collection is:
• Carefully inspected and fairly priced based on maker’s name, rarity, year of construction, sound quality, and condition
• Certified authentic and honestly described if any maintenance or restoration has been done
• Well maintained and ready to play
Our collection currently includes around 100 rare and vintage ouds, selected for their craftsmanship and tonal character.
Commitment Beyond the Sale
Our highest priority is client satisfaction.
We are committed to providing:
• The best rare and clean vintage ouds with reasonable prices
• Personal communication and guidance to choose the most suitable oud
• Safe and guaranteed worldwide delivery following our shipping policy.
Every instrument is carefully packed in hard case inside a solid wooden box to ensure it arrives safely anywhere in the world. We stand behind every oud we sell and aim to build long-term relationships based on trust and respect.
Preserving a Living Heritage
We believe an oud is more than an instrument. It is history, identity, and soul.
Our mission is to preserve the legacy of master oud makers and introduce the beauty of Arabic music to people across the globe.
Additionally, we aim to connect cultures through sound, craftsmanship, and heritage.
