I've just read pages 208-209 and I'm wondering about the oud described by Meshâkah (under Eli Smith's pen) : Does it correspond to the tuning I drew ?

At the top the nut (head), the bottom goes to the bridge. The green numbers represent the ascending, the red ones descending.




What I drew corresponds with what I found in the translation by Ronzevalle. (PL. II)

In 1913, this tuning was already obsolete. (PL. III)
