San Francisco based "Qadim Ensemble" google if you like attended this concert
one of the performer mention that Oud in Arabic/Hebrew was translated into Western translation mistakenly in to the word lute Is this understood and true for lute Music historian on the list? . Also this Oud instrument played in the Middle Eastern countries don't have frets since they don't have the chromatic tuning Any comments??? greeting from the S.F. Bay area Hermann -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
