- John Vergara of Lord of the Strings and Heritage Soundcraft Institute demonstrates how he restrings an oud on the mother of all ouds! Also includes some basic maintenance of the fingerboard.
Great video! Keep em coming.
Thanks for sharing ❤
That's really super great , very well done 👍👍👍👍👍
Nice to see your process!
Good stuff, John!
I've been looking all over the internet to learn which order to do the strings so they don't cross so much. Thank you. After stringing mine in the order you did, I think I realized that the string holes my pegs are not in the right place, so I'm still having some strings cross and make it difficult to tune. Maybe some of them are in the wrong place
Yes, sometimes the holes are in awkward locations. New holes should be drilled. I could make a video on that if there's enough interest.
Definitely interesting @@lordofthestrings_heritage
Thank you for this video! Najib mentioned that he uses triple zero steel wool. Would that be ok, or is 0000 better?
0000 and 000 steel wool are very close. 0000 being more fine. They will both work.
YES
This oud is just beauty, did mention who made it?
Looks like a Nahat oud
@@eazy-n3751 maybe I don’t know but the size of Oud doesn’t same like nahati damscus size , it’s like modern turkish ouds.
Hello, why did you remove the oud sound comparison video ? 😭
If you dont trim the strings before putting them in the peg to wind, what can happen to the oud?
The winding of a long string will cover the entire shaft of the peg, this means you have no room to push it in to seat it, or to pull it out. It will be stuck in an inoperable position. Does that make sense?
@@lordofthestrings_heritage Thanks for your time replying! Yes, that makes perfect sense! When I was following along, changing the strings for the first time, your guide was an excellent help.
Hi, can i ask what is the bowl wood this oud?
Who is the luthier of this oud?
Who made this oud John ?
Muhammad Makarius, Mauritanian
Could you use 2 classical guitar strings sets with the oud?
Why the top is not being finished? after all classical guitars tops are finished with some kind of finish. (Dirt and grime will not benefit the top in any way).
Looking at the head design, I think that the design of the peg head is completely wrong, strings should not go into the peg box with all kind of angles (It looks nice but it creates tuning problems and it's kind of ridiculous),
is there any oud makers that solved this issue with a bigger peg box? also it's time to use planetary pegs it's 2024.
Dani , thank you for the comment. I also make Classical guitars, so I can address some of your questions. No you cannot use 2 sets of classical guitar strings, the gauges are not correct for Arabic, nor Turkish oud. The tops of ouds and the lute family are traditionally not finished believe it or not. Many great instruments held up many years without grime or dirt as most decent players are good about not touching the face. I however from time to time do apply either a wax finish or a few coats of light shellac. But not all the time. The reason is, most finishes kill the sound on ouds and lutes due to the nature of how they are made. The pegbox design is not completely wrong, it is indicative of the kind of instrument it is. Violins, violas, cellos and basses have similar design (and of course the lute family), and it's perfectly functional. I do use mechanical tuning machines on my higher end ouds, but some people actually prefer well fitted pegs over them. There are pros and cons to both in fact.
