I'm bringing the oud to Conterpoint this weekend after all.
Anybody feel like starting a pool for guesses as to when during the weekend my tempoary repair to the head/neck joint will start to fail?
Still not sure about the soprano bowed psaltery (I'm definitely bringing the tenor), or whether I'll have time to replace the broken strings on the Vulcan lyre before tomorrow evening.
P.S.: This means, if you're the one playing the oud at the time the tuning and action start to go to pot (or, worst case, the wood splits), it won't be your fault. If I'm lucky it'll at least last long enough for interested people to try it out. Knock wood.

(This does, however, remind me of an alleged exchange between a conservatory student and a professor: "Professor, how can you tell whether somebody is musical?" "If they make a pleasant noise when you strike them." And yes, this does mean that I have some *ahem* musical friends. :-) )
