Naseer Shama has an ensemble on Youtube with a few women oud players in it. So nice to see women playing with the men.

Great clip, Greg. Was it all one taqsim? It was amazing.  I'm actually
quite suprised there are so many women Oud players! Keep it up, girls. 
EDIT: Did anybody else notice that strange sound at about 9:10? She nearly threw her Oud across the room in fright!

That's an oud player called Gulcin Yahya Kacar - I don't know much about her but she has a wonderful touch ... lots of 'carpma' I think you call it
(someone correct me) , that almost vocal whispering rapid hammer-on that actually occurs naturally when you sing if you let it and is very expressive
in the oriental oud sounds. I've seen her before at Emir oudlari http://www.emirudlari.com/
they sound really nice, very modern Turkish.

Thanks for him for all these ressources.

Stumbled across this the other day and thought it might be of interest:
Humay Qedimova - oud
She seems to be better known for her tar playing though - see for example this video, where she is accompanied by another female Azeri oud player:

Do any other women have trouble with shoulder pain after playing the oud? I find that the distance my right arm has to stretch in front of my body
(you know, cause there's some extra stuff the ladies have that make the sit farther away from the body) causes a lot of pain under my right shoulder
blade after practicing.
My only solution is to put the instrument on my left leg, which I've been by my teachers that this looks terrible.
Any other solutions out there from the ladies that don't involve money? (:

Every oud has several spots where when the risha/mizrap meets the strings the sound is more musical than other spots. There is usually more than one
place on each oud and even on the same oud it will be different places for different players because of the difference of personal touch. Sometimes
these places are *not* over the pickguard. If there is a spot with beautiful sound that is closer to the bridge than where you have been playing it
might be possible to approach the strings with arm coming around the side rather than over the top. Many players do that anyway. Even if the sound is
not ideal you can practice like this to avoid pain until such time as the solution that involves money becomes possible, and that is to obtain an oud
that is smaller and/or with a flatter belly. Another thing that can be done (but you've probably already done this) is to study the posture and
technique of other female players. This section of the forum on women oud players is full of links to such videos. You might see something that can
be applied to your personal situation.

In response to Jonathan's picture there was a tradition of Armenian women playing oud which goes back to the late Ottoman Empire. I have been trying
to collect information on this which I will share when it is more complete. However it seems to have been restricted to a single generation. None of
the American born Armenian girls have played the oud to my knowledge until very recently. However in Armenia itself (eastern armenia) where the oud
and kanun have been brought after WWI both of those instruments have developed into "women's instruments" up until today. Although few oud players
were women and certainly women rarely if ever played in bands there were actually quite a few Armenian lady oudists. The interesting thing is that
this seems to have been restricted to oud. To my knowledge there traditionally were no Armenian women kanunists, clarinetists, or violinists (except
later and only in western music) certainly no davul zurna players, and the women dumbeg players in armenian groups or recordings seem to have been
mostly belly dancers and not armenian anyway, same for playing zills. The only eastern instruments Armenian women played were tambourine and wooden
spoons, and oud. Why is this? Were the others not sufficiently feminine? I suppose that must have been the reason.
