What to Look For in a Luxury Oud Instrument

If you are looking for a luxury oud instrument, there are many options available. From Ritter Instruments' Royal series to a 10,000-year-old piece by Mohammed Fadel, there is a high price tag attached to luxury instruments. But what exactly should you look for?

Oud is an ancient Arabian instrument, and is the most important and used instrument in local music.

This is a South Arabian folkloric song/poem called Markeb al-Hind (The Ship from India) written in the early 1600s. Very famous and still covered by musicians today.

There’s a very long history of trade in the Indian Ocean between Arabia, India, and East Africa, and the lyrics of the poem reflects that.

A moment of appreciation for my Lute

I had a few people asking about my Lute so I figured I would take a moment to post about it here. My Lute was made by a Japanese artist that makes Biwa, lutes and Oud ~ You can find his instagram here

https://www.instagram.com/biwaud?igsh=MTd4ZHJsN3ExcWo5bA==

My instrument is actually an Oud since the neck is thinner and it doesn't have frets. I love the design on it ~

A Koi fish 🎏 ~

I do encourage you to look at the artist's work and website ~ his designs are always quite interesting and you can listen to him play as well on his instagram. (I don't play well enough to show off yet)

It is very much one of the only things I brought back from Japan except my mugs collection, but that's another story ~

[vriendenboekjes]

Modern reincarnation-verse Paris plays the oud and a replication of an ancient lyre.

(He's got three; a phorminx if he's doing some Youtube video/Tiktok whatever, a straight up swan-necked Mycenaean-era style big lyre and an asymmetrical Hittite lyre. The last two he's only been able to purchase rather recently, after reconciling with his parents. He got the phorminx as a teen, before the mild estrangement when he went off to university.)

When he otherwise "professionally" performs he's "just" a singer, because he's not found any other instruments that's otherwise usually used in modern music industry performances that he actually likes or cares to play.
