@fretstringer222 I would say: No. An Oud has a different tuning, different number of strings and most importly: no frets. It's a whole different instrument, but also a very lovely one. Get one if you love the tone and the istrument but I think playing music like Dowland is mostly not possible, or only with many excuses.

Bravo! Dificil e excelente interpretação !

@rodo5522 It's called a "Laúd" in Spanish.

@BFGUITAR lute sounds like a nylon 12 strings guitar but the sound is weaker but still clean....like on a guitar this would sound more "partitioned" because a powerful fast picking like this would born accents

I am looking to buy a Oud/Lute. The one I am looking at is made in the middle east and all the videos I have watched about it are playing middle eastern sounding songs.
I know it is a middle eastern Oud but, I kind of wanted to play more classical and medieval music, is this still a possibility? For example could I play John Dowland?
Please help!

Como se llama el instrumento??
Whats name the instrument?
Sorry for my bad english
-
It's probably a rennaisance era lute, due to the fact it doesn't have the bass strings hanging off the fret board, with a separate tuning box.
-
Mind telling me what kind of lute that is you're playing?

Very very nice! Thank you for sharing your substantial talents...

Lutes sound completely different then a guitar. There are double course strings and the strings have a much lower tension. Lutes have a much sweeter sound than a guitar but have less timbre which is one reason why they were never popular after the baroque era. If you think they sound the same you need to get your ears checked.

@Nicorette1234 Don't tell your granny how to chew apples. The guy obviously knows what he's talking about seeing as he is playing the lute and as he said has played guitar also. I'm a guitarist myself and can see that there are complexities in the lute that I don't evene want to begin thinking about.
It's liek saying there's not much difference between a motobike and a car, except a car has more wheels.
