Nice clean work Yaron.:applause:

It looks a little freshly shaven without a beard! ;)

Traditional bracing this time?

How does the other oud sound now it's had time to settle in? (the first one with the side sound hole and "tree" bracing?)

Dear Sazi,
Thanks for the compliments!
Yes, traditional bracing this time ;)
The other (side sound hole) oud is dramatically "opened" now, and his sound is sweet and bellish, bright and clean

This new one is Mr. Traditional Turkish delight sound.

Thanks for your compliments Samir!
The neck/peg-box joint thickness is 24mm on 40mm wide
The Neck/body joint thickness is 26mm on 60mm wide
It is a bit thicker than classical Turkish, but the customer is use to play with thicker neck

Does it satisfy your curiosity?:)

Regards
Yaron.

You ask for it...

Nice one Yaron!:applause:

What kind of pick-up did you use, where are the sensors placed and does it have a pre-amp?

Thanks, S

Thanks again,
This pickup was taken from another oud by the customer, it doesn't say the name but it is a 2 adhesive Cristal piazo sensors and a PL plug (No EQ and preamp)
The sensors are glued to the top from the inside under the bridge, you have to try some spots to find the best sound. (tidies work)
Yaron.

Thanks Yaron, sounds like it was worth it though:)
