La Bella OU80A-B Oud String Arabic Tuning Nylon - Black

The oud is the classical short-necked, bowl-backed, fretless lute central to Arabic music traditions. With 11 or 12 strings arranged in 5 or 6 courses, it produces the rich, warm, and deeply expressive tones characteristic of Middle Eastern music. The standard Arabic tuning often includes an optional high course, typically tuned as:
[f’f’] cc / gg / DD / AA / EE

Its fretless design allows for intricate melodic ornamentations, microtonal nuances, and authentic performance of traditional scales (maqamat). Whether used in solo performances or as part of an ensemble, the oud remains a timeless instrument cherished by musicians worldwide.
