When listening to some players online namely this being one example
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=o0AsR7JpwuI
According to Nazih Ghadban's site he states that this tuning is C to C on this particular Oud but when checking it on a standard 440 pitch tuner is C#
to C#
I'm installing pyramid Oud 665/11 http://www.oudstrings.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=...
I understand the tension is slightly higher on these so I don't want to over tension.
My question is do most people tune to CtoC or is it supposed to be C#toC# or does Arabic tuning operate on a different pitch?
