Repairing moroccan oud
Hello there!
Am Fahassani ! New on the forum, I know this forum a long time ago,
learning form all Oud masters here and really had fun coming to this site time to time. (Cool photos!)
I make ouds but that`s only a hobby for me, not sure of my level of craftsmanship.
So, just one thing, I will be posting on the fly and try to answer Replies on any question as I go on with the oud repair. (am really busy Dude!  )
About the oud ( IN short ):
This is Our family Oud, purchased by my grandfather May he rest in pace amen ( GOD willing). I do not repair instrument just like that, so this
has a meaning for me to do so.
The instrument was broken in a fight.
played back in 2000. Got broken in 2007. repairing on Agu 2009
The goals are to add about 6 new ribs, fix the neck /the peg-box, face also needed a new one, somewhat of a fix at the fingerboard.
here are the photos
I`ll be soon updating this thread.
     
Peace. ^^

I think it is really a challenge to repair such damages.might be more difficult than building a new one.But as you said the meaning is particular
Good luck

A family instrument is too important to remain like this.
You have to take it back to music!
A devoted luthier is able to give it a new life.
And don't let your oud get into more fight...

In California a luthier would have an obligation to report you to the cops and check you wife's head for oud marks.

Hi,
UPDATES,
9 new ribs needed to replace broken ones. Back is completed but did not sand it yet.
 
Some Notes: I had left the Oud once outdoor which had effected some ribs due to fog. 
I may had used a lot of glue!
The repair went (somewhat) smooth so far, I will be installing a new Soundboard, and finger board to be repaired.
I did a video, not sure if the vid helps but just did it for fun . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwMqleuFuv0

Great project, great video and most great background music!
Every video of construnting or repairing a musical instrument is always useful.
I am waiting for the next ones, and a taqsim of course of the finished instrument.

Thanks for the video, I love the hi-tech bending system and clamps!
Next time I think I can't start a project because I don't have the right tools I will watch this and be inspired!
 Bravo!
