ive had my oud for about a week and noticed that when i lay it down in it's hard case the neck isnt even touching the area that its supposed to rest
on, its bassically balancing itslef on the pegbox, is this bad? thanks

YES! This will put extra stress on the neck and may cause the neck joint to fail if the case is dropped or struck on the bottom. There should be a
crossmember under the neck, add some padding or foam rubber under the neck until the pegbox clears the floor of the case.
