difference between ouds
Hiya,
I am about to buy an oud made in Syria.
I have played an Iraqi oud for the last 5 months and just wondered what the difference between Iraqi and Syrian ouds would be. Will the transition be
easy for me??
Kind regards,
Little Seb

Hi Seb,
I have ouds frm both Syria and Iraq.
I don't think you will have any issues with the transition as long as you tune the oud the same way.
Good luck,
Hatem

Very good, thank you very much!
Are there any sound differences? Are the meassures any different? Or are they just the same??
Thanks again!

Hi Seb,
The difference shouldn't be there. Some ouds are a bit smaller than others. As far as I know, the Turkish ones are smaller .
What defines the size is distance between the bridge and the nut. I have a couple that are 58.5 cm's, some are 61 cm, and I have one that is 62.5
cm.
In general you shouldn't feel any difference.
Regards,
Hatem
