Do you mean that you are playing, fingering the high D string at the end of the fingerboard and are getting a buzz?

thats correct.btw the oud is new, so there are no wear issues...

Hi Armen,
Does the fingerboard go all the way to the soundhole, or are you fingering on the face at this point ?
Even if the oud's new -- it still might have a problem in this area (especially if you don't have an extended fingerboard). Then there's always the
element of time -- with a new oud, it could take a few months for everything to pull into position.
Regards..Paul

its a shorter fingerboard...i seem to think it might be an action/nut issue...

If you're playing way up there at the end of the fingerboard a little buzz is not a bad thing. If it was down on the neck or lower down I would worry.
No one hates buzzing more than me but there are buzzes that nothing will fix except the player and the techniques he or she uses. I wouldn't worry.
Necati Celik's ouds buzz a lot everywhere because he plays really hard and doesn't mind a little buzzing. Unless the buzz makes the fillings in your
teeth rattle I wouldn't worry. Cool runnings. D.L.
