Buzuq question

Iskandar - 6-26-2019 at 03:24 AM

I've made fullside plans for a Buzuq using a picture scaled to scale length and used known dimension as well for accuracy. I'd like to know the thickness of the neck and fretboard are at the neck joint and nut please.

Hello
On mine, 76 cm stringlength
neck width is 35 mm at nut and 45 mm at neck body joint
neck thickness approx (I dont have precise tool under hand to that) 20 mm thick at nut and 32 mm thick at neck body joint. Including fingerboard around 3mm thick, I cannot be precise it is the same color of wood. I even thought at first it was the same block of wood actually
good luck, let us know about your project
