I was told it would originate in the persian region. Don't know of the
evidence for that but my statement it would come from either the arabic
countries or china was corrected by an expert a while ago telling me it
would be from the region of persia.

Hi Michael,
I may have missed something, to which instruments are you referring? My
post was to clarify the instrument referred to in the "Four Arts" of a
scholar in China.
The theory that the lute, oud etc. originated in Asia is certainly
fascinating.
