Hi Xsteaven,
I am not sure whether I should volunteer a member's services. However, I always respond based on my personal experiences!
We have an amazing luthier who is not only a very talented artist, but also a respectable luthier with exceptional quality work and ability to make an oud sing by itself!
You may contact Jameel Abraham in Iowa. He will take care of you and your oud.
I personally turned to Jameel for help in a few occasions where I got to appreciate his passionate love for the instrument and his dedication as an amazing expert in terms of oud performance enhancement. I came to the conclusion that Jameel can do miracles.
Botom line is : You did well getting a Maurice oud and you will never go wrong with Jameel.

Dear Jameel,
Please accept my apologies for volunteering your talent!

Good luck

I recieved my Shehata oud more than half year ago and it was really smashed! But Maurice built a new great oud for me.

You can email me at khalafoud@khalafoud.com

Do you think the wood at the neck is broken, or is it just the finish?

Thanks Hatem for your kind words.
