3 Pyramids
Hello,
Has anyone heard or used the 3 Pyramids Oud strings brand?
I just bought a set and when I opened the package, the strings looked of low qauility. And all of them are copper wound except for the second, which
is "Nylon core - Nylon wound" and the first is plain nylon.
In fact the first string was just added to the package and didn't look as part of the original. The original had a set of five envelops.
I wonder if they are the correct gauges?

Hello Elie. The 3 pyramid strings are just that; low quality. They
are not the correct gauges, and will brake in less than a week. They suck. For Turkish and/or Arabic ouds strings, I'd recommend DAdario or
Aqila.
