Oud with broken bridge.
Hey guys.
I have a Sukar Oud.
I've been playing it for a few months and was really happy with it. I used a J95 D'Addario strings with the tuning DGADGC on my Oud. Everything was
fine until recently...
The bridge connected to my oud fell off.
I have no idea why.
I've tried to fix it back (using glue) but the bridge fell off again after i've fixed the strings and began tuning it.
I have a question.
Can my oud still be played?
I need help.
Thanks.

Hi ASAL,
I am sorry for your Oud, i remember when in christmas 2001 i have just started to play and the neck got detached. I felt very bad and i understand how
you feel. The good new is that your Oud is Still playable but you should get glued the bridge by a professional person in order to do things in the
right way for the health of the instrument. I don't suggest you to glue it by yourself, go to the doctor instead :-)
Regards,

From what I remember that string set is more suited to CFADgc tuning but it's not the likely cause.
1 How did you prep the joint and glue/clamp it? What kind of glue?
2 Do you have access to a luthier, a guitar repair person, a psychiatrist or a priest? The luthier is the preferred resource in that list. Alloushe
is right.

i agree, it is not the likely cause, the bridge is not such a sensitive element to a point to crack when we overload it.*
maybe some disfunctional due to the fabrication (?)
