will that impace the sound of the oud in anyways?...
The fingerboard should be 1/3 the string length to place the 5th position at the joint of the body and neck. It has no affect on the sound, but a
shorter stringlength & neck area little easier to play as the distance between position of the note is less.
The sound is produced by the face and it's structure.
