Buzuq

This instrument represents the modern evolution of the traditional Buzuq, handcrafted by featured master luthier Ibrahim Sukkar. Unlike standard folk instruments, the “Raheb” is built with the structural precision of a mechanical engineer, featuring a stunning Wenge and Mahogany bowl and a reinforced long neck designed for absolute professional stability and playability.

Key Features:

• Face: First-Grade Spruce (Saberous Type 1) for bright, piercing projection.

   

• Bowl: Alternating ribs of dark Wenge and warm Mahogany, accented by a decorative center strip.

   

• Tuning: High-quality Mechanical Geared Tuners for precise, reliable pitch stability.

• Included: Ships heavily protected in a custom-fitted, durable fiberglass hard case.

Dimensions & Engineering:

• Scale Length: 51 cm

• Neck Profile: Slim, ergonomic profile engineered for exceptionally fast playability.

• Neck Reinforcement: Features Sukkar’s proprietary internal adjustable neck mechanism. This rare engineering innovation ensures the long neck remains perfectly straight against intense string tension and allows players to seamlessly customize the string height (action) to their exact preference.

Hand-carved by a master artisan, the “Raheb” beautifully bridges the gap between modern acoustic physics and centuries of historic woodworking artistry.
