is there a distinction, in terms of oud decoration, which favors a leaner, more - shall we say - "re-feened" style of oud? turkish ouds have always
seemed to me to be less ornate.
the comparative lack of decoration on european lutes and the - to me - over abundance of it on some ouds is just amazing. i don't mean "good" or
"bad" - it's just a matter of taste. i'm one of those who involuntarily starts to reach for his wallet at the mere mention of the word "classic."
