Some tips and guidelines for playing the oud
  • In order to keep your posture, elevate your leg, thus making the oud less of a stretch.

     
  • Keep your back straight with your shoulders even. Direct your right arm towards the oud strings just above the middle of the instrument's base. Depending on your own size and on the size of your oud, it may take some time to achieve this position.

     
  • Considering that you are sitting up with your back straight while looking straight ahead, the face of the oud should be parallel to your own. It is important that the oud should not lean forward or backward. Its length should be kept parallel to the floor and straight. With practice, the oud's round back will fit comfortably in the nook formed by your thigh and your abdomen. You must try not to support the oud's neck with your left hand since it should maintain itself.

     
  • Although there is not one standard way of holding the oud, the tips and guidelines suggested will help you feel more comfortable with your instrument.

We have a unique collection of professional instruments such as Oud, which are selectively imported from their countries of origin.All of our Oud instruments are handmade, usually using traditional methods passed for generations from father to son. We invest a lot of effort to allocate those ouds, which sometime are found at small workshops in distant villages. Our ouds can be used for advanced and beginner Oud players and we trying to attach a movie sound to every Oud we are selling in our unique oud store.
