oud
The oud is characterized by its deep, resonant tone and the absence of frets, which allows musicians to play microtones and sliding notes essential to the Maqam system of Middle Eastern music. It evokes a sense of ancient tradition and cultural heritage, often associated with soulful, improvisational performances.
As a countable noun, it follows standard English pluralization rules. While it is a specialized musical term, it is used in both ethnomusicological contexts and general descriptions of world music to distinguish this specific instrument from the European lute.
