specs on floating bridge soundboard needed
greetings fellow oudophiles. My dear friend is pestering me to build an oud Bashir style. I am trying to find details on inside specs-braces
placement, shapes, and soundboard thicknesses. any help from anybody out there would be hugely appreciated!
just finished building my 2nd sitar- here's pix- 400+ hrs of work, craziness! I did this with ivory from recycled piano keys- wish I could find bone
or antler strips- but I just dislike plastic entirely and won't use it. I'm not trying to be a purist looney but I only use hide glue for everything
and everclear/shellac French polish.

I've built Renaissance lutes and vihuelas for a while- my vihuelas are more elaborate now with more Moorish type marquetry-

best regards to all!

Fadel oud
MANY thanks Lazzaro! this could be very helpful, I just need to finish my slow downloads.
I've been really happy to see how helpful all the builders and enthusiasts of Oud are. I am always as open-handed as possible when I'm asked for
lutherie advice, I don't believe in "secret lutherie!"
