Let's talk about arm rests!
I have been using mainly an old sock with the end cut off to make playing more comfortable on my right arm, but recently I put a piece of flexible
plastic inside which made it even better. I experimented with making a wooden armrest on my latest oud build (even though I don't like the aesthetics
of them usually), but it didn't make it any more comfortable for me, so I decided to stick with the old sock! I also bought one made for classical
guitarists called 'Luva' which is a similar design (stretchy material with plastic inside) but found the plastic less flexible and so it dug into my
upper arm as well as restricting risha movement a bit.
I was curious what if anything you lot use? I know some of you with longer arms might not need anything of course!

Hi Dusepo,
On stage, I use an armpad (looks like Luva without plastic inside) it's strech/elastic, I find it good : mybe you should take a bigger size ?
At home, to protect my oud, I use simply a clean litle microfiber towel. My oud is 2006 made, no markings, stains...
