Turkish Oud, the magical string instrument
Written by brogan on September 10, 2008 – 8:47 am -The Turkish Oud is a fantastic string instrument. The origin of this wonderful instrument was from Arab countries. This instrument was introduced in the 8th century in Arab countries. Though it looks like a small guitar, it is much different in many ways. Nevertheless, it produces magnifying sound that makes people happy. A thin wood is used in this string instrument. It produces a soft and melody type of music, which is so pleasing to the ears. It is now very popular in many countries around the world especially in Turkey. I had been to Spain recently and brought a Turkish Oud. I presented it to my son who is a professional guitarist. He is indeed very happy. He currently plays his Turkish Oud more than his guitar. It has become his passion.
