Hello everyone again.....
I am currently planning my next oud, which will be a Shehata...I have a preference for broad finger boards....and I'm wondering if anyone in this form
owns a 13 course Shehata...I would appreciate it very much if someone provived me with the dimensions of the finger board at the nut and at the bridge
end (from top hole on low register to bottom hole on high register).
The reason for this, is that I hope to use the same finger board dimensions for a "12 course" typical oud. By all means if some people think this is
madness and too spaced out...please do comment! But I know that my Foad and Sukkar ouds with a 37mm dimension at the nut are too narrow for my fat
fingers. In addition I'm really interested in experimenting with an ud than has wider than the norm finger board... Any feedback would be
appreciated.
Thanks again...
