Oud Nut
Hi! I recently received an Oud from Jordan. The problem is that, while the bridge is set up for 11 strings, the nut is only notched for 5 courses.
I have tried contacting Khalaf Ouds with no reply to see how much a nut for 11 strings would cost (I had not given him the dimensions). Shall I
just do mathematics and make new grooves on the existing nut? Can anyone point me in a different direction?

Jameel, would you at all consider selling per-order nuts?

Josh,
I just responded to your email about 10 minutes ago. Give me a break my friend, you wrote me yesterday at 1pm!  Cut me some slack...
Amtaha,
I'll make you a nut if you send me the specs. It's always a bit of a gamble whether it will fit right because ouds can be so different, but we can
always try.

Jameel,
My apologies, I'm too hasty! Thanks for your help.

Jameel,
This is great news. I'll send you the specs once I get back home.
Much appreciated.
