Rojaros, no way to be sure, but I rather believe the wood itself plays a huge role because I also have a sukar model 1 on hand which has the same ribs
as the model 14, but in a different reddish wood, a different walnut i think, and again it sounds different.

Yes, I agree; what I wanted to say is, that in fact it is quite an intricate network of interdependent factors and probabely it will never be possible
to separate single factors.
For what I understand it is most important that the luthier understands what choices give what effects. For us as players it is maybe more important
to develop a 'sound vision' - an understanding of the sound as we would like to have it - and the ability to communicate it clearly to the luthier.
The you have to trust that the luthier will be able to accomplish that. Some will be able, some not ...
But of course one's own preferences also change with time and experience ...
BTW for what I have heard until now I like Sukar ouds very much, they are unique in their sound.
best wishes
Robert

3 questions: What is it, how to fix it on the oud, and where to get it?

One of the brands of arm rests I do have experience with is PLENOSOM (google it). It's not as comfortable as Kristopher Barnetts one, but it works
with sucction cups and it works fine

I just got a custom made case for the Stenzel oud. It is made by Meinl (who is also known for very fine guitar cases. It is very well made, very
robust and not so clumsy or heavy. It fits exactly and tightly the measurements of the oud.
Maybe it is an interesting option for the fellow oudists in Germany at least?
Anyway, best wishes
Robert
