oud strings

Hi folks
Do you know if I can use pyramid strings (turkish 58-60 cm string lenght) in my Samir Azar (58,5cm string lenght) and tune it FADgcf???
Is it better than pyramid arabic strings (60-62 string lenght)??
thanks in advance

Yes Fadel my Samir Azar is Bashir style
I need to change the strings, and I want to try different strings until I´ll find the best kind for me.
So I don´t know what to do...

Hello Michoud,

for each half note you change the tuning you will raise the tension for about 0.3 Kg. Therefore if the set is calculated for a fixed bridge with about 3.5 Kg each you come to a tension of 4.4 Kg which is at the upper limit I mean. If you tell me the number of the string set you want to use, I can tell you more.

By the way, did you find my collection of strings sets which you can download from my website ( lutes-strings.de ). Have a look inside there and you will find a lot of good solutions.

Best Matthias
