wow aren't you scared those big clamps you have on top of the oud might damage the face? I'm referring to the last picture.

Hello,
You're right, but I put pieces of inside the oud to protect the top.
Are you thinkig about weight ?
I was difficult to tighten the neck (round) with the fingerboard.
the final wasn't very good. The fingerboard was no more thick and It was impossible to have a good sound.
I did an other fingerboard, and today, the sound in very beautiful.
