Esteemed forum member,
I would like to perform neck Adjustment on an oud by making a slot at the neck joint and sticking a wedge.
I tried to find some related post but I couldn't.
I appreciate any help on this matter from those who have done that or have info on how to do it.
Or, if this issue was discussed, send me the link to it please.
Yours,
Omar

You'll probably find numerous luthiers here advise you against such a repair, suggesting that a proper neck reset is the best choice. I have seen it
done many times and it often works well and holds for a long time. If you eventually have to do a full neck reset, then so be it, but I don't think
there is any harm in the wedge as a less invasive solution.
Unfortunately, I can't advise how to go about it, but I believe it has been discussed in the forums before.

Thanks Brian,
I have also no info on the proper neck adjustment.
Did you happen to see and post here on neck set?

Sorry if my post wasn't clear—I've seen the wedge technique done many times where it worked well.
