Hello all. If possible, can anyone send me the string tentions for Turkish oud? Many thanks.

William,
I am glad you are asking this question. I will answer with another question
I am looking for a good quality supplier of the following tun-up
F A D G C high F
Mike gave me a great answer. However, I would appreciate additional resources if possible.
Have a great day,
Hatem
Tune up.

Are you looking for an oud with that tuning, or are you looking for strings. I'll check on strings for you when I get to school.

I believe that you can the pyramid lute strings and use those for that tuning since the highest tuning for the high string is normally a G on a lute,
but I'll check again.

William,
Thanks for the quick response. I am going to try a set with a friend of mine in the near future.
I noticed that you are in SA. Howdy partner!
If ever in Houston, pack your oud and give me a buzz
Best regards,
Hatem

Sweet! All oud players from Texas should get together and have a jam. We may need capos to compensate for the different tunings, but I think it would
work.

All we had to do is show up at the Houston Rodeo
I leave the rest to your imagination
However, a get together by the Texan oudists sounds like a great idea!
Anybody else here from Texas?
