An oud is a traditional stringed instrument from the Middle East with a large, rounded body and a short neck. It typically has 11 or 13 strings arranged in five or six pairs, which are played by plucking with a plectrum. The oud produces a warm, resonant sound and is commonly used in classical Middle Eastern music, as well as in folk and contemporary styles. It lacks frets, allowing for smooth, sliding notes and expressive phrasing. The oud's distinctive tone and versatility make it a central instrument in Middle Eastern music.
