A short video describing an instrument, that is sometimes better than a big speech !

I saw this on Ebay, and im very intrigued, especially for the 7 course. I think its a very good design.

I need to get a fully acoustic oud first, but in the future I would like to talk to you more about this!!! There are some minor changes I would prefer when i'm ready...

Hello norumba
Sorry for delay
What kind of minor changes you would like ?
Best regards

Bonjour, salut!

When Im ready, I would request an ebony fingerboard; and also different pickup system. This is such a Beatiful and intelligent design, I love this, but I think it will be even better sounding if you replace the piezo pickup with something like a K and K transducer system. This would be attached under the soundboard:

I've used k and k transducers on my previous acoustic oud and my current electric oud, much better sound for me than piezos...

Merci norumba

I don t know if this kind of piclup works because sylent oud is a solidbody. There is no soundboard. Kksound is a very interesting company. If possible i will try.
Call me by whatsapp 0033649197764 or facebook sylvain bd instrument maker. Ebony or pao fero fingerboard are possible.

All the best

Ah, if its completely solid then it would not work i think...from the pictures it appeared the solid body was hollow or chambered so I thought it might could be possible.
What kind of piezo are you using?
