Are there any aspects of the Oud world, be it instrument design or playing techniques, that could be mapped out? I've heard somewhere that Rast 3rd
note varies by region, could there be a map of that? What about rosettes, pick guards, body shape, size, tuning, etc? With all the regional variation
could anything about the oud be displayed spatially and be somewhat accurate? I'm very interested in the geography of this music so any help is
appreciated!
