Hi, everyone! My learner oud from Haluk has arrived, and it's just beautiful. The crate was solid and undamaged, and the oud was packed in its case,
in a layer of bubble-wrap, with packaging to cushion it and a brace across the box to keep the box firm and the oud steady.
So--now that I have the oud, I have my first question! I've seen a variety of Turkish tunings listed in posts here, and I know that Greg tuned his
oud from Haluk to Arabic tuning. I suppose I'm just wondering what anyone would recommend by way of an initial turning, since I'm just starting
out.
Also, one of the tuning pegs seems just slightly slippery as I start to tune the oud. It wants to stay at the note it arrived on! Advice on how to
fix or work with that?
Best,
Eric
