Oud Measurments


Is there a percentage "scientifically" among the Oud parts (Bowl’s Depth/ Bowl’s length/ Bowl’s width/neck’s length/ string’s length)
And what are they?

Hi Majid. A lot has been said on this forum about these ratios. This is a complicated subject with a lot of opinions about what would be ideal proportions. Here is a good link to get some of this info you seek. This is about an early lute which was close to the oud. A lot of these ratios are used similarly on the oud.
