Tap tuning braces
Dear fellow oud makers,
I found an interesting website containing articles on guitar making which I believe much of applies to oud making. One of the articles is on the
subject of tap tuning of the soundboard and the braces which I found very useful and informative. The author has Doc's view on that good guitars (or
ouds for here) are made by exactly copying certain models which have proven to sound superb and these models have been arrived at after much trial and
error and time. Okay, here is the link: http://www.cumpiano.com/Home/Newsletters/Issues/twentythree.htm
Enjoy.

Hey, thanks for the support. If you read the article on "Floating kosher soundboard" you'll find
another statement from Cumpiano "this is exactly why I don't use any assembly "fixtures" or molds. They're very hard to make work properly and
consistently. Use the free assembly method described in my book--you might save yourself a lot of time and wasted effort "
