Hi, I recieved my arabic oud a couple days ago and it is time to buy strings. I have done some researching and the Pyramid strings #650 looks like
decent ones. The problem is that these strings are supposed to be used in CGAdgc tuning, and I want to use the CFAdgc tuning. Do you think something
will take damage or sound bad if I tune the pyramid strings in the CFAdgc tuning instead?
I would also appreciate if you know another good brand of strings which can be tuned in CFAdgc.

The 650 set is a good one. It is fine in that tuning. Generally speaking, you can't damage the oud by tuning lower, only by tuning higher.
