Introduction to Oud: The Quintessential Middle Eastern String Instrument
The Oud is a pear-shaped stringed instrument with a deep, rich sound, central to Middle Eastern music. Its origins date back over 5,000 years, with roots in ancient Mesopotamia, Persia, and Egypt. The name 'Oud' is derived from the Arabic word for 'wood,' reflecting the instrument's primary material. Historically, the Oud has evolved from the Persian barbat and has significantly influenced the development of other stringed instruments like the European lute. Its enduring presence in traditional and contemporary music across the Middle East, North Africa, and beyond underscores its cultural importance.
