WHAT IS AN OUD?

The Oud is a traditional Persian instrument which gained recognition during the 7th and 9th century. 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 as the most dynamic and most flexible instrument and is also really common in folk music. The Oud is also known as The Prince of Instruments.
