WTB: Used Pyramid lute strings

Maybe an odd thing to look for but I like the sound of old strings on one of my ouds. Let me know if you have used strings you'd like to sell.

I'll have some in a few weeks

Hi Franck, those tensions should work on this oud. Please let me know when they are available, thanks!

What scale is your oud, Jason?
I use them on different scales ouds, but the shorter one may not sound good on a longer one, you know because of the nut break.

It is a 58.5cm floating bridge Ghadban. I also have a longer scale (maybe 61-62cm) Sukar but I've never had Pyramids on that one
