Yep. An oud has a narrower neck and different shaped pegbox, no frets, and is played with a plectrum. Also, the construction will be a little heavier than a renaissance lute. Traditionally, it is more common to play single note lines, rather than chords with an oud.
Oud playing example.
Typical smooth shape for oud back.
A renaissance lute will tend to have the same or more courses of strings (6 - 8 course is common - more strings/courses were added later to extend the range), a flat wide fingerboard for playing chords, tied gut frets, a VERY thin soundboard (barely 1mm) for increased volume when playing with fingertips, and the shape of the bowl will tend to have flats/steps in it rather than be sanded smooth and round like an oud is. Note that a medieval lute would have been closer in design and playing style to the oud, considering the common ancestor. Medieval lutes often look like 5-course ouds of the time that were brought back to Europe, and sometimes they had frets tied onto them, sometimes not, but it's often difficult to tell from the iconography.
Some photos from a lute maker's website - notice the shape of the back compared to the oud, and the much wider fingerboard.
Examples of renaissance lute playing:
Nigel North
Edin Karamazov
Ronn McFarlane w/ Annalisa Pappano on treble viol.
All of those lutenists are fantastic. I highly recommend Ronn McFarlane's album The Renaissance Lute.
Hmm. Interesting! Right, "tamil carved flute" and "carved bansuri" show multiple very similar flutes, and some of them have this thing on top, while some of them don't have it! It's as if this thing on top were a plug of sorts that can be taken off?
It doesn't seem to be a real bansuri though (despite what the ebay claims), as bansuri is a transverse flute. And this one has a fipple.
Here we can hear that it can actually play, if it doesn't have this hat on top. Are you sure you cannot take the hat off? By like twisting it or whatever?
I'm hoping this is a joke. If so: Lol.
If not: it is definitely an old school sprayer for a garden hose.
