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? How does a luxury instrument compare to other similar instruments? Here are a few tips. Hopefully you'll find this information useful! Oud instrument After all, the oud is one of the most important instruments in a musician's collection. Ritter's 'Royal' series The quality of an Oud's sound depends largely on the quality of the wood used in its construction. A high-quality Oud will have an ebony or silver-coated fretboard, a spruce neck, and a fingerboard made of ebony or silver. The wood used in an Oud's bowl is typically walnut or maple, and the instrument's body is made from a variety of hardwoods. Mohammed Fadel's oud If the Oud was a luxury, would we still be interested in it today? Perhaps the answer would be no. But what's with the current obsession with the Oud? Why would someone spend money on one? It might be because the Oud is such a luxury item? Or perhaps it's because the Oud is so important to Iraqis that they want to play it as often as they can. Craftsmanship involved in making an oud There are many important steps involved in the crafting process of an oud, including the selection of the right wood, the creation of templates, and the application of the correct finishing. A skilled maker will make sure the fretboard is completely flat and straight to prevent buzzing sounds and ensure the Oud will play beautifully. Another important step in the crafting process is the hand-sculpting of the bridge. Once these are completed, the Oud is ready to play! Loudness The main difference between a luxury Oud instrument and its cheaper counterpart is the sound it makes. Loudness of an Oud depends on several factors. The sound quality depends on the materials it's made of and the workmanship of the instrument. While good materials are important, if the workmanship is not balanced, the sound is likely to be low and ineffective. The cover board, keyboard, and augers are all important elements that contribute to the volume of the sound. If you're looking for a high-end instrument, you should look for a lighter instrument. Sound quality If you're looking for an Oud that is going to sound amazing, look no further. The Oud is a traditional instrument with an elongated body and a rounded back. Its soundboard is a flat sheet of wood that is enclosed by a rosette of 15 to 25 strips. These strips provide vibrations and create a warm, full tone. Ouds are a unique musical instrument that offers endless creative potential.

Arabic Oud Instrument
The Arabic Oud is a popular instrument around the world. Its origins are in the Arabian peninsula, and it is the historical predecessor of the European lute, which in turn evolved into the guitar. There are various branches of the oud, from Egypt and Iraq to Turkey and Greece. Today, the instruments are also played in the United Arab Emirates, Israel, Morocco, and Armenia. To learn more about the instrument, read on. Origins The Arabic Oud is an ancient instrument that is commonly used in Middle Eastern and East African music. Both the word 'lute' and 'oud' originate from the Arabic word lwd, which means 'the wood.' According to Gianfranco Lotti, this appellation originally had a derogatory connotation. Moreover, instrumental music was forbidden during early Islam, so the Turks altered the word 'ayn' into the present-day form. The oud has a wooden top, unlike the mandolin, which uses animal skin.

Structure The structure of an Arabic Oud Instrument consists of a flat wooden body and a soundboard covered with silver or copper. The stringed instrument is usually made from spruce wood, with each wire wrapped around its own auger. The oud's soundboard is supported by two or more balconies, and each one is approximately 20 cm long and 50 cm wide. The shape and layout of these balconies are directly related to the sonority of an Oud. Sound spectrum One of the oldest string instruments, the Arabic Oud offers a rich, diverse sound spectrum. Featuring three recorded instruments, its scale length is longer than that of the guitar. The instrument's high-end technology makes it ideal for both live performances and studio recording.

Authenticity Whether a piece of Arabic music is truly authentic depends on its history, which is an interesting fact, if you are considering buying an Oud for your home. Its history stretches across Europe, the Middle East and beyond, and this instrument is no different. Many musicians today have a vested interest in the authenticity of their instruments, so it is worth learning a bit about the instrument's origins.

This instrument can be played with a variety of styles, making it perfect for live performances and studio recordings. This article will go over how to manipulate the keyswitches on this instrument, and offer tips and advice for getting the most out of it.

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 ~

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.
