Oud Database Project
Based on Samir Nassif's idea in the "weigh your oud" thread, I'm going to start a website with a database of different ouds from different makers. If
anyone is interested, please make your support known here. I'll get it going with a couple ouds I have, and then we can expand from there. I think it
would make a great resource. Tell me what you think.

Hi Jameel,
Just for convenience, will it be possible to start the site within the forums?
Mike,
What do you think?
Happy New Year guys,
Hatem

Hi,
Good thinking Samir, this is a great idea. With Jameel's help, I'm hoping to see this develop into a solid online reference. I'll be thinking of
ways to assist this effort and I call on everyone to do the same. BTW I'm sure Mike will give his full support.
Happy new year,
-SidiM

Jameel, that sounds cool, and useful. Though I'm only intermittently on here, I'll contribute if I can. I just got a new Ramazan Calay oud this
week!

I will post the relevant data of my "Khalifeh" oud in a few days when I get home from Holiday travel... But I am with the Doc that most significant is
a light weight soundboard. I almost think that a heavier bowl might be better since it might be less prone to absorbing the vibrational energy, but
then maybe a lighter bowl which responds back to the string vibration is what contributes to the oud's tone, after all who wants to listen to a pure
tone such as what you get from pushing the dialing buttons of a phone.
I would be curious to see or hear how the material of the bowl and its thickness affects sustain and echo.
Happy New Year to all.
