No, it was not the frets. The neck looked like it was nice and straight. It might have been the low C string was touching the end of the neck in between the nut and when it hits the tuning pin. A friend of mine told me it could have been that (of course, I had already sent it back....:( ). It definitely had to do with that low C string (the only wound string on the instrument).

Another weird thing was that the box had "custom's tape" all over it and it looked like the strings had been splayed apart so someone could have gotten a better look inside of the body of the instrument. There was no damage done to the instrument, though. I guess having the word "buzuq" on the tag of the box looked suspicious. :))

It was kind of a shame it did not work out because the instrument was as beautiful looking as the pictures he posted on his web site. Anyway, I am very picky, so oh well.

Hello, somehow the thread went completely off track.
I mean if you want to discuss bouzuk issues, why don't you just open up a thread on that?

I just asked a simple question on how to get to a decent Sukar oud and we are completely elsewhere.
Is it the Zeitgeist to be so distracted?

thanks, folks
