Vienna-based Iranian oud player and vocalist Avin Ahmadi performs the Iranian piece Gar Tīgh Bārad by Siamak Aghaei on the Oud. This comes via Siccas Guitars and their YouTube (go subscribe). Beautiful performance by Ahmadi. Born in 2004, trained at Tehran’s music conservatory, she is now pursuing jazz improvisation at Anton Bruckner University in Linz, Austria.

The Oud and lute are directly related with the Middle Eastern oud acting as the direct ancestor of the European lute. Both are pear-shaped, plucked string instruments, but the oud is fretless with a shorter neck, while the lute, developed later, features frets and was heavily influenced by the oud brought to Europe by the Moors.
