12 string Laud purchased new in Barcelona, Spain in early 2009. Manufactured by Alhambra, a quality Spanish guitar manufacturer. |
The name laud means "The Lute". La (The female form of
the word "the" in spanish) Ud (oud which is the Arabic
name for Lute). Laud - Spanish Laud. The laúd is a
plectrum plucked chordophone from Spain. It consists of
twelve metallic strings (six double), as the bandurria, but
the neck is longer than a bandurria. Traditionally it forms
part of serenaders or folk string musical groups, together
with the guitar and the bandurria. Like in the bandurria, it
is tuned in fourths. Perfect for a Bluegrass band.
