arabic buzuq bracing pattern. Any advice ?

suz_i_dil - 9-20-2014 at 06:12 AM

Hello,

I'm considering changing the soundboard of a baglama, to turn it as an arabic buzuq.

A tricky point is I will have to reset the neck because I wil have to settle a higher bridge

But another issue is I don't have any basis on how to brace the soundboard. What is the usual way ?

I think ladder brace anyway (put away the X-bracing of irish buzuk). But then ? One brace ahead the soundhole, 1 behind...Most probably a 2nd one ...And a third one behind the bridge ? Do you think it's needed ?

Thanks for your help

Bonjour Francis,

oui je veux bien, ce serait super sympa de ta part.

Ca fait un moment que j'en cherche un mais ca apparait bien compliqué depuis la France...Alors reste les bricolages maison !

Tu as toujours mon mail ? Sinon je te le renvoies en mp

A bientot
