Hi all,
I need very soft strings to lower the pressure on my oud. What do you recomand? I have to keep it normal (Arabic)tuning, can not make it lower than that...:shrug::mad:
I just knew that something WILL HAPPEN! :(
Hard strings will ripp my bridge of! I just feel that it's to much pressure now...it's already 4mm ripped! I could hardly see it, but when I sow it, I got miserable! I'll go to fix it next weak, no problem & no charge, but still, I have to get other strings, after he fixes it...
:(:shrug:

;-), I go to
Kamil at saturday, he'll fix it, it's actualy very small gap, but, you know I'm so sensitive because it's new, so it's not such a problem at the end... ;-)
Thanks for the strings names! I usualy use pyramid strings, but I hope that names of the stringsyou gave me will fit better, with less tension.

I put D'adario strings that are very soft, and there is no presure on oud anymore. A friend of mine who repairs ouds told me that the thing that I have seem on my oud is NO GAP, that's just that I'm crazy and that my Kamils Oud is very good & strong. Now I'm happy & calm. No need to repair anything.:)):bounce:
