Shiny SunText is a project of an ideal new oud with a new measurements,for the soundbox,the stringlength (58.5cm),the braces are
made with special care(acoustic proportions),so to facilitate playing on it and so to render the sound more intense and bright.it is made of the best
kind of hard wood (Rosewood+Wenghe+Maple+Ebony) the keys are made of ebony.
I mixed on its soundboard the two styles of oud(Syrian Nahat and Iraqian oud) so I used a little nice Mozaik which I made specially for the soundboard
to let its appearance more attractive.
Aesthetically I used the proportion of the golden number which effect on oud construction is essential.
