I don't see how it would be possible as the oud strings are in a level plane with no radius.

Ebow uses a magnet, it's not an actual bow like a violin.
But you need iron content in the strings., I don't see how you'd do this on oud.
Maybe Aquila's red strings would work . . . or some other kind of 'loaded' plastic, using iron filings. I doubt you'd get enough iron to work well
though.

Thank you for your replies
I already tested ebow on a basic folk guitar, without magnet. The sustain wasn't loud but it works. That is why i believe a little !
Trust me, i will try it with special string
