Must correct prior posting after further research. (dug out my books:p ) Ancient lutes were found in archaeological sites in Mesopotamia from about 200=2500 BC (Sumerian times?). Anyway, it's really old and very beautiful in all its forms. There's even a form of lute played in the Andes which the locals developed from renaissance spanish instruments. It's called a Charango.

Many thanks. I'm familar with Julian Bream who is one of the musicians responsible for the revival of this instrument in modern times but I found that I'm more drawn towards his guitar work than his lute work. I will definitely look Paul up on amazon and purchase some of his music. thanks again. Know any viguela virtuosos?

If the word is arabic, it would probably have to be something like al-oud with an ayin in the beginning of the word oud and al being the definite article. Lute is a corruption of this word. It entered europe through spain. To this day there's an instrument played there called laúd in the same family. Lute is the english version of this word which, at this point, has varried significantly from its linguistic progenitor. Are there any arabic speakers out there who would care to comment?
