Floating bridge strings

IlPersiano - 3-2-2016 at 09:40 AM

Dears,

I just got a beautiful Yarob Fadel floating bridge oud and never had an experience with flowating bridge ouds. It seems one need to put higher tension strings. Its string lenght is 58cm (and it's a 7 courses one (so the peg box is a bit longer). What kind of strings would you recommend?

Thank you for your help!

Hello IlPersiano,

I have put togather several sets for aouds with different scales, tunings and tensions. You will find them in my shop here:

Informations about my numbering system and in general about aoud sets you find here:

For a floating bridge you should choose a set with "...Hfl...". If any question remains contact me through the shop.

Best regards

Matthias
