Hi,
It's a very interesting discussion about bracing systems for ouds. Akoud could you explain why in removing a brace at the base of the soundboard and
in adding 2 small braces on each side of the bridge you've got a sound more free with a higher volume? Maybe some luthiers in Mike'sforum could give
their theory.
regards
farid

Hello,
About the last post of Sabassi,
I found this information on internet...so many ressource on the web so don't know if it is really sure:
"A soundboard for stringed musical instruments in which the soundboard is reinforced by a series of ribs spaced apart by a distance less than one-half
the wave length of the vibration of the soundboard at the fundamental frequency of the highest note on the instrument scale."
This would mean than for a tuning in Fa there would need more ribs than for a tuning in Do for a same soundboard length, and so explain the more
number of ribs placed on the iraki construction.
What do you think about Sabassi, do you think it make sense?

It's the same pattern as Munshed uses. A design that leads back to Mohammed Fadel and seems to be the pattern that Iraqi builders use.
Best wishes

Dear Ronny,
you are right, Munir Bashir had PYNR 0600 for the f and PYNR 0650 for the c. The other strings are correct.

Thanks Matthias for refreshing my memory.
I had totally forgot the numbers for the strings that Bashir used since I switched from nylon to nylgut. I usually never write down anything...
Best wishes
Ronny

Could we find the same kind of bares at each side of the bridge for a fixed bridge oud? How these bares give a higher sound for the oud?
