    Hi,

    I hope it's ok to post this here, I apologize if it's not.

    I'm doing this project for a music production program at my uni.
    It's about genre recognition and evaluation of "liveliness",...

    Re: "shallow nut" replacement

    For those , who might wonder about "shallow nut" as I did - here how it looks like 92574
    And here's my banjo-mandolin already nutted awaiting a new head and final restoration.

    Re: "shallow nut" replacement

    That's what they point out in Israeli museum: "Parchment from a desecrated Torah scroll".
    One is for sure, whoever played this mando didn't care much for holy scrolls.

    Re: "shallow nut" replacement

    Just found a sister to my mando-banjo on a "Ghetto Fighters House Archives" website
    Apparently, it's in a museum in Israel.

    So, this instrument could be an attempt to elaborate on idea...

    Interesting development about the Hebrew inscription on the head - it is actually a part
    of a Scripture Scroll parchment, book of Ester to be exact.

    Not exactly like zither, though.
    But exactly like this type of Turkish dumbek (darbuka, if you wish)

    Re: "shallow nut" replacement

    well, it is made very much like Turkish Cümbüş.
    it is basically a dumbek drum by construction.
    so, this particular one could actually originate in Ottoman's Palestine.
    probably made by Jewish...

    Re: "shallow nut" replacement

    Sure, will do, thanks !
    It isn't a good instrument maybe, but it is certainly quite rare to me, though.
    I've seen plenty of instruments over the years working with deceased estates and pawnshops.

    Re: "shallow nut" replacement

    Yes, I saw this picture earlier .
    It's a DDR-made Musima (Marma).
    I had a few of those.
    They utilize a distinct type of nut, looks like a sandwich.
    No slot in the neck, though.

    Re: "shallow nut" replacement

    I do have some bits and pieces which may fit with minor sanding.
    Got some bone and black horn plates about 2,5- 3 mm .

    Re: "shallow nut" replacement

    I've checked an old mando with a "shallow" nut today at the local store, so, I can say now it is not the same thing as I thought.

    It never had another owner since the WW2.
    This I know for sure.
    I find the construction being interesting too, actually.

    Re: "shallow nut" replacement

    Yes, they did.
    I have one like this too, but there the nut and 0 fret are combined in one piece of metal.

    Re: "shallow nut" replacement

    mmm...
    There is glue residue at the end of fretboard and on the fretboard right before 0 fret.
    Originally it is a mando-banjo, whole metal (besides the neck) style. Looks like one-off or a small...

    Re: "shallow nut" replacement

    A nut that thin?
    The slot is about 2mm.
    Could it be a metal one?
    You maybe just right and I'm overcomplicating things.

    Re: "shallow nut" replacement

    Thanks for your advice.
    Will try to cut out some combination of those two last images , a nut in shape of a step.
    I think, that's how it originally looked like.

    Re: "shallow nut" replacement

    I don't mean zero fret, it's in place.
    I mean the nut of shallow type, which fits on the edge of the fretboard.

    "shallow nut" replacement

    I wonder if someone could post a picture of "shallow" type of nut, the one which is mounted on the fingerboard itself.
    I'm trying to figure out how to make one.
    Thanks

    Nice! Now I'm getting somewhere.
    I knew it has to be made with 1/4 tones, and it is.
