The Arabic oud is the most preferred oud instrument among the types of ouds used in the world. It owes its popularity to its romantic, rich sound and deep timbre. Arabic oud is heavier compared to Turkish ouds given that its soundbox whose bowl is thicker. The bowl of the Arabic oud is thick enough to resist the hard weather conditions such as very high temperatures, heath differences between day and night, etc. When the oud strings are struck, the sustain is shorter in this kind of oud. Arabic ouds are also slightly bigger than Turkish ouds.

After all, Arabic ouds are the ancestors of the European lute. Arabic ouds are fretless instruments, they are played with a single pick. There are several types of Arabic ouds in terms of their number of strings, not all of these types are frequently used by players. There are Arabic ouds with four courses, each course with a pair of strings, which are still used in Morocco. Arabic ouds with five courses are the most common ones.

Care and storage conditions are very important for your oud musical instrument to remain of the same quality for many years. First of all, you need to keep your oud musical instrument at room temperature. Polishing should be done once a year in order not to deteriorate the quality of the wood used in making oud. It is not correct to keep the oud in humid, humid environments, excessive sunlight, or indoor and hot environments. If you're in a damp environment, it's a good practice to keep it in a light-filled cabinet with as little dampness as possible.

Changing the oud strings every six months will contribute to keeping the sound quality at a high level. If you are not going to play for a long time, it is better to leave the strings loose.
