What is an Oud?
The Oud is a traditional Persian instrument that gained recognition during the 7th and 9th centuries. The word “Oud“ meant “Wood“ in recent times. However, nowadays its translation is simply known as “String instrument“. In the near East, the Oud is considered the most dynamic and flexible instrument and is also extremely common in folk music. The Oud is also known as The Prince of Instruments.
