Oud Repair

This instrument is an Oud, it was made in Quatar. When it came in the head stock was broken off. The neck was made like to the bowl with individual pieces of wood. We prepared the broken pieces to fit back together the way they were supposed to then glued and filled. After the repairs were complete we had to spend a great deal of time to make the 11 string, fretless instrument play the way the player wanted. Much effort was exerted to get the angle of the neck in the proper place. This was the first of 3 Ouds that we have worked on over the years.
