The oud is a pear-shaped, fretless stringed instrument central to Middle Eastern, North African, and Turkish classical and folk music. Played by plucking with a plectrum, it is prized for its warm, resonant tone and is often used to perform maqam-based melodies, drawing musicians who want to explore Arabic and Ottoman musical traditions.
