Our Story: The Heartbeat of Kuwaiti Music – Jawharat Salmeen Est.
A Legacy of Sound, Born in Kuwait
Welcome to Jawharat Salmeen Est. (مؤسسة جوهرة سالمين), a name that has been synonymous with quality musical instruments and authentic Kuwaiti craftsmanship for decades. Our story is not just about wood and strings; it’s about a deep-rooted passion for the melodies that define our culture.
Founded on the principles of quality, trust, and a love for music, Jawharat Salmeen began with a simple mission: to provide the musicians of Kuwait with instruments that could truly sing. Today, from our home in the vibrant heart of Hawalli, we are proud to serve a community of musicians as one of the country's most respected manufacturers and repairers of Ouds, violins, and other traditional instruments.
The Art of Craftsmanship
What is the "jewel" (Jawhara) of Salmeen? It is the mastery passed down through generations. It is the patience to select the perfect piece of wood from our private workshop, the precision to shape it, and the ear to know when it has found its voice.
We are not just a store; we are artisans connected by a common passion. Our specialty lies in the soul of Arabic music: the Oud. Every instrument that bears the Jawharat Salmeen name is a testament to our commitment:
- Hand-Selected Materials: We source high-quality tonewoods from around the world to ensure each instrument possesses a rich, resonant, and mature sound.
- Meticulous Handcrafting: In our dedicated workshop, our luthiers blend age-old techniques with modern precision, creating instruments that are both beautiful to behold and a joy to play.
- Expert Repairs & Maintenance: Our store in Hawalli is a trusted destination for musicians across Kuwait for instrument repairs. We understand the intimate bond between a musician and their instrument, and we treat every repair with the utmost care and expertise.
