Longer strings for floating bridge oud

nasers - 2-11-2014 at 05:30 PM

Hi, everyone. I have a nice floating bridge Samir Azar oud but can't seem to find strings that are long enough to reach the right pegs..

Can I ask those of you with floating bridge ouds what strings you use and would recommend?

Thanks,
Naser

I used CaravanMusic Arabic strings < http://www.musicaravan.com/strings >on my Bashir model, overall length from the top nut to the tail is 28,5 in/723mmm.

I use on my Azar floater Aquila Nylguts and D'Addario Nylon Strings from oudstrings.com.
