Hi guys,

I had no idea about this, but today my brother woke me up with a big package in his hand. I opened up the package tknowing what was in it, and I found a brand new Haluk Pro-3 oud!!!!!

What a surprise. It seems my brothers, who r not well versed in music wanted to surprise their older brother lol (a small price to pay for all these years of taking care of them.)

It looks gorgeous and the finish is typical of Mr. Haluk's ouds. It also has the guitar peg box on it for enduring tuning.

I need some help with the tuning. It has six strings and I am not sure how or what to tune the six strings. So feed back is appreciate especially for those with experience in tuning the turkish haluk ouds according to the arabic tuning.

Hilal thank you guys.

Tuning is same like 11 stringed oud.As I understand your oud 12 stringed.

Is there any photos and sound file?

Enjoy your oud.
