You're the doud, Navid! I listened to your new release and it was exquisitely charming and therapeutic. The oud is certainly not for the impatient. Stringing is now second nature and fun for me. My main struggle has been filing a proper bone nut. It is tricky because I always use two low C's instead of one but finally got it right for my fingers.

[@OudforGuitarists]

Don't two low c strings jangle?

[@trevorabbottcompositions]

@@OudforGuitarists It took some trial and error, but It's all about the spacing on the nut. It needs to be wider than the other courses. Works well for me and gives a robust low C.

[@shepberryhill4912]

It is not uncommon to find double low course ouds, in Syria, Iraq, etc.

[@trevorabbottcompositions]

@@shepberryhill4912 yeah, from what I've observed, the nut and bridge spacing is critical to pulling it off without complications.

Thank you so much man! This is so helpful

[@fatma.onac.1983]

Thank for this video, thanks for your amazing work, i get from your website the beginner lessons, thanks a lot 👏🏻👍🏻🌟

[@StevenParrisWard]

Excellent clear info. Thanks.

Very informative!
Thanks!

You're welcome.

[@stever7613]

Does anyone know of someone with an educational setup like Oudforguitarists, but for Greek Bouzouki?
Keep going Navid! Your music is fantastic and your lessons are top-notch. I joined Classical Guitar Corner for a little bit(it didn't work out) and was impressed by the quality of their lessons, resources, etc. They became the standard I judge other sites by, which is a high bar. Yours is right up there with theirs. You do great work! Always impressed.

[@OudforGuitarists]

Thanks Steve.

[@arisdelis1]

For Bouzouki 1. Angelina Music Channel 2. Thodoris Tzinellis 3. Konstantina Kostelis on TH-cam do free bouzouki lessons..

I'm so glad you did this video because my soundboard was not finished my pegs were wooden and they did squeak and I did feel like I got ripped off because it was so late I said this has to be a toy but now I have been enlightened thank you very much😂😂😂😂

[@AnnaAnanasova]

My first oud was really heavy. So I was very shocked when I tried another one, which was super light. :) Also is it better to have strings closer to the neck? My first oud has it quite far away I would say, and when I tried another oud, which had strings very close to the sound board, it was strange for me.

[@OudforGuitarists]

There is some variety for how close the strings are to the neck. We call this distance "action". There is such a thing as too close to the neck, but usually people want between 1-3 mm. That is ideal. If it is 1 mm or less you might get a very buzzy sound. If it is 3mm or higher than the Oud might be difficult to play.

[@AnnaAnanasova]

@@OudforGuitarists yes, it was buzzing. Thank you Navid, you are the best!

[@TTSAXX]

Turkish vs Arabic Oud to start?

[@pajamasflannel]

I am hoping for a geared tuner peg replacements. Wittner does not seem to make them but my search has only just begun.

[@kickhisassseabass318]

Perfection pegs make geared oud pegs

[@Basim_Daoud]

What causes buzzing noise when I press on the fingerboard while I play?

[@OudforGuitarists]

There are so many factors that cause buzzing.
strings could need changing
the strings are too new
the height of the strings is too low and needs to be adjusted
the fingerboard is not precisely flat
some part of the oud is loose inside or the rosette is loose
the strings are too low tension and hitting each other too much
I have to see it and play the oud to even determine anything.

[@mostafagagou8335]

all strings or just one? is it a new oud?

[@DoomerDoxy]

I’m trying to get into oud but the cheapest I can find normally is like 400$ but I got on Etsy and find for 200$. Would they be genuine or is there like a certain range that they tend to be?

[@OudforGuitarists]

Yes, they tend to go for $200 to $450. But $200 is usually not very good. I would recommend paying at least $400, but sometimes you are lucky and can find something good for a student for $350.

[@wimw292]

my advice get ( Borhan Sheshny Oud ) 👍

[@emiii4346]

Hello! Is there a delivery to Russia? Can I pay from Russia?

[@OudforGuitarists]

I don't know.

[@hiramabifgsm]

is this Turkish or Arabic style ???

[@opalshemesh1]

Does the oud require tuning each time?

[@OudforGuitarists]

It requires regular tuning.

[@mattiagaleazzi20]

I love gear pegs! I've had my oud since years now and never lost tune! AHAHAHAH
