Hello, I did today a test recording with my Stenzel oud, now also equipped with Pyramid Lute Strings with wound c'c' and g'g'. High f'f' is Seaguar
Premier fluorocarbon fishing line 0.41mm.
HELLO ROJAROS BOTH ARE EXCELLENT
I PERSONALLY PREFER THE COPCUOGLO OUD IT IS MORE AUTHENTIC, DEEPER AND WARMER, THE FIRST SOUNDS MORE LIKE A LUTE
BUT IT IS A PERSONAL TASTE

Well, It's a bit difficult to compare: the Copcuoglu is over 20 years old and played a lot, Stenzel is maybe 3 years old and not played much, because
I didn't have much free time. But each time I play the Stenzel, it opens up a bit. These new strings also lifted the oud a lot, I'm sure I'll play
more in the time to come...bulerias1981 - 11-22-2014 at 01:26 PM
rojaros,
What scale is the Stenzel oud?rojaros - 11-24-2014 at 07:41 AM
It is 60cm scale length 7 course. The strings have been calculated by Pyramid at 3 kg for cc/gg/dd/AA/FF/C tuning, but I put it down to
bb/f#f#/c#c#/G#G#/EE/B, and that means that this part of the set is now nominally at around 2.7kg or little less.
The first course is ff (Seaguar Premier 0.41mm fluorocarbon line) but now ee. which makes it 3.771 kg
The oud takes it well, I think, there is no deformation of the top.rojaros - 12-5-2014 at 08:54 AM
The Stenzel Oud sound clip miraculously diasapeared. I have to make a new one ... sorry! I'll be back in few days here.
