my question is if the sustain of the note is lost with this method of joining.
Sincerely yours,
Dimitris
Sustain is not related to the joining method. Some luthiers prefer using cylinder treenail or some others use metal screws.

I am not an expert of Oud making, I don't see the difference of the two methods...
But, It made me upset and sad to see machines next to this wonderful instrument!
Sorry Faruk, I express my feeling even though I have a lot of respect for you.
I am just against machines.farukturunz - 3-7-2010 at 05:34 AM
Thank you for expressing your feelings sir. paulO - 3-7-2010 at 07:14 AM
Wow....this is as much an engineering/ tool design forum as anything. The wealth of information, and insight into the different methods of
construction of these beautiful instruments is very inspiring. Thanks to all for your contributions.

I am glad oud/ud-making has become as "seious", precise, exact and proff as the rest of the musical instruments!
Thanks to the efforts made by many GOOD makers, we are witnessing the GOLDEN age of oud/ud! And for that, we should
be gratefull and happy.
Keep up the good work Mr. Turunz.theodoropoulos - 3-7-2010 at 02:05 PM
Mr Faruk is not only a luthier but also a mechanic!
He has designed and made for every single part of the oud a whole mechanism for automatization and precise in the result.His mind is far beyond from
common sense,belive me...fernandraynaud - 3-27-2010 at 01:27 PM
Dear Mr Turunz,
Wonderful equipment, I certainly don't understand why some people are "against machines", if they don't insist on using only stone axes or one's
teeth. Tools are the human way. Better tools give us more choices.
I am curious why you don't provide an adjustment for the neck angle, like Sukar does. This seems like a spot that VERY likely will need touch up over
the years as the wood settles, no? Or maybe just user preference might change.
