Hello
A curius told me "can you explain what you changed for oud players?"
I answered him :
"many things ! the strings are nylon, the bridge is wider, the tailpiece to accommodate nylon strings, the fingerboard and therefore the neck are more
conical (the cumbus has a neck with almost parallel edges), the saddles are made of bone, the hoops are made of wood to balance the instrument (the
cumbus leans on the body so the musician wears the entire neck while playing), the soundholes to better hear the sound, bumps on the back of the neck
to imitate the base of the peg box ...."
Sometimes pics and video speak better so ...
