new designs for acoustic guitars
Came across this on the NYTimes. Thought it might be of interest to some.

Hey Hamid,
Cool article right? That Dr. Decker guy is pretty cool, I emailed with him a few times a while back. He was interested in experimenting with ouds
using his research, but it wasn't economically feasible for him without guaranteeing a relatively large order of ouds - which is understandable.
Anyway, I'm glad plenty of people are reading about these guys. We of course have our own innovator hard at work with what is probably the first oud
with a double soundboard. 
Take care,
mavrothis

What do you mean by double soundboard? Never heard of that before.

mavrothis is referring to Jameel's quietly carried out experiments with oud sound boards.
