Oud (OOD)

The Oud is a pear-shaped, stringed instrument commonly found in Arabic, Persian, Turkish, and Greek music. Its origins are traced back to the Mesopotamian and Ancient Persian civilizations, making it one of the oldest stringed instruments in the world. The Oud is characterized by its deep, rich sound and is played with a plectrum, offering a wide emotional range from melancholic to joyful. It is a precursor to many Western instruments, including the lute.
