[edit]

After the tanbur, it is the oldest string instrument in Iran.

The instrument was abolished in the Safavid period for an unknown reason (perhaps due to religious fanaticism), even until recent decades.

It is possible that the earliest lutes were carved from a solid piece of wood in a similar manner to the barbat. By the time of the Arab-Moorish period in Spain, the body was in its characteristic staved wood vaulted back design. The Arabic: العود (al-ʿūd or oud) literally denotes a thin piece of wood similar to the shape of a straw. It may refer to the wooden plectrum traditionally used for playing the oud, to the thin strips of wood used for the back, or to the wooden soundboard that distinguished it from similar instruments with skin-faced bodies.[1] Henry George Farmer considers the similitude between al-ʿūd and al-ʿawda ("the return" – of bliss).[2]

Oud means "from wood" and "stick" in Arabic.[3] [4], the top was made of wood as opposed to the skin of earlier lutes, also the vaulted back that provided the model for the European lute was constructed from many steam-bent "flexible sticks". Although the Persian barbat is also a lute, its body differs from that of the Semitic oud.
