does anyone here play oud? 
ramzi? kudo? ^^
my grandfather was a big oud player in marocco before immigrating to israel. he passed away about 45 years ago, i never got to meet him .
we have an oud at home ( that i bought for my fathers birthday ) but we(me and my father) don't know how to play it.
it'll be a dream to play oud, especially that i'm named after my grandfather.

oh man I wish I could play oud, its been on my mind since childhood! one day, I will buy an oud and get online skype lessons for oud.
I know a non-active foromember here who is a professional musician who plays both flamenco and oud, his name is Beau, he told me that learned oud over skype and he teaches flamenco and oud over skype
here is his website:

Here you can learn to play Oud online, but some lessons are free, while most others are provided for a fee that you have to pay. The lessons are in Arabic though...

Cheers!

Here is a sample of the lessons:

I always thought they had a cool sound and if you cruz the net looking at pictures they're really beautiful looking instruments as well. I plan on making a nomex double top Oud someday just out of personal interest but it keeps being pushed on the back burner, hopefully I can at least get started on it sometime this year.

well as you know the oud strings are E A D G B E same as the guitar
the guitar frets are wider
it wont be so hard to play the oud I tried couple times and it was fun
flamenco sounds good on oud by the way

I don't think it's as simple as that, right? I've heard that there are many tunings that are used.

first of all no frets on oud.
secondly - different tuning. there are many traditional tuning but none is like the guitar
and the bass string is always D btw ( all the tunings i know at least)

BIG EDIT : he looks at himself as Palestinian so forget about what i said - he probably hates me for calling him israeli (even though Nazareth is in israel..)

Moti -

If you find yourself in El Kudz on a Friday afternoon, head over to the Avram (a cafe near the shuk's parking lot). Nino Bitton has a weekly gig there - he was also a famous oud player in Marocco.

Baldi is a real monster huh? Thanks for sharing.

Motty, also look out for Itamar Erez, he's a good guitarist and composer. He doesn't play oud but he has modified his flamenco guitar with added partial frets so he can play some of the middle eastern modes. Some of his music is kind of a mixture of middle eastern and a bit of flamenco and some of it (with a group) sounds a lot like the old Oregon group. So some might call it fusion but I would call it שקשוקה.
So you might like some of it, or find it interesting.
I don't know where you are, but he's playing in Jerusalem in a few days.
