MUSIC OUD - AN OVERVIEW

oud, stringed musical instrument distinguished in medieval and fashionable Islamic music. It's the dad or mum of the ecu lute. The oud features a deep pear-shaped human body, a fretless fingerboard, and a comparatively shorter neck and relatively considerably less acutely bent-back pegbox than the European lute.Alfonso X, “The Wise”, 1221-1284,
