Bosset strings on Yaroub Med Fadhil oud
dear all of you
I'm new on this forum and I'm so glad to meet all of you. My englsih is not so good, so i will try my best to make it easy to read.
I've just begun to play oud on a Yaroub MEd Fadhil, and the length is 570mm.
I'd like to put Philippe Bosset strings in DADgcf, and the caracteristic of these strings are :
028
031
024w
029w
032w
043w
028
031
024w
029w
032w
Could someone help me to understand if the tension will be ok, and how to calculate it with these informations ?
Thank you so much

For tension on my lute strings I did this:
after the new tuning pegs wore in a little, I began to trust them to tell the way.
where they all seemed to turn well and hold their place.
And not " pop back ."
Then I would start to adjust them together with a clip on digital tuner.
Also I looked at the soundboard over time and was glad to see that it has stayed flat.
I'm interested in this too.
