Laouto
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The laouto (Greek: λαούτο, pl. laouta λαούτα) is a long-neck fretted instrument of the lute family, found in Greece and Cyprus, and similar in appearance to the oud.[1] It has four double-strings. It is played in most respects like the oud (plucked with a long plectrum); in Cyprus the laouto is plucked with a feather.[2] This instrument is known in Albania as "llautë" (indefinite form) or "llauta" (definite form),[3] and in Romania as "lăuta".
