Deep Strings with a flavour of the Orient

The Oud is a traditional Persian instrument which gained recognition during the 7th and 9th centuries. The word “Oud“ comes from the Arabic “ud”, which literally means “Wood“. However, nowadays, its translation is simply known as “String instrument“. The Oud is considered the most dynamic and most flexible instrument in the Middle East. It is also prevalent in folk music. The Oud is also known as “The Prince of Instruments”.
