new strings for my Nahat oud and my Samir Azar oud
Hi all
I want to change the strings of my Nahat and Azar ouds.
I always use pyramid, and I want to change.
My Samir oud is 58,50 cm string lenght and I tune it FADGCF from bass to treble.
My Abdo Nahat is 62 cm string lenght and I want to tune it CGADGC from bass to treble
What do you think are the best strings for those string lenghts with those tuning?
I never try aquila strings...
I tried few months ago with pyramid lute strings,and it was fantastic (wound courses), but this string set was only with 2 wound courses and 4 nylon,
and I like 3 wound and 3 nylon , or like turkish 4 wound and 2 nylon.
I dont know if there are lute sets with more than 2 wound courses...
I´m waiting for your ideas

Hello,
did you use the ready sets from Pyramid or composed sets using the lute strings?
I prefer the lute strings for the oud too, as they are very fine. As there are a great variety of different diameters ( plain and wound ) it is easy
to compose an individual set for your instrument. And I this this is absolutely necessary for such fine and old instruments, having a string length
that is not standart. I recommend a low tension for your Nahat.
Furthermore it is always possible with an individual set to have 3 or 4 woud courses.
If you want I can mail you a list that I composed of different oud string sets. With that you can get an impression of the great variety of string
sets.
Concerning the Aquilas, there are only ready sets, may be good for the Azar and in low tension for the Nahat.
Best regards
Matthias

I am using Aquila nylgut FADGCF (normal tension) set on Azar oud. To my ears, that is a very good match.
