I am researching to buy my next oud. And i want o know if the quality of the sound is better of an oud with a short fingerboard or does this matter
anyway?
I am a amateur oud player ( still learning ) and i want to buy an oud with a high quality to this to use for many years.
thanks in advance for your responses.

Well i did try to call him but i think is phone number has been changed because i can not reach him.spyblaster - 5-9-2012 at 05:32 AM
well do you mean the form or the material?
as i know the best length for the finger board of the oud is 19 cm.
the material depends on your desire. these days most players prefer hard woods like ebony for the finger board, while older players have used ouds
with softer finger boards, like walnut.

Mehmet,
I did reply to you, see you mailbox fernandraynaud - 5-10-2012 at 04:23 AM
Theres also whether a long fingerboard iz inset into the soundboard or glued on top of it. The latter design tends to mute the sound. Microber - 5-10-2012 at 11:09 AM
