keyboard refernce tuning


Hi thanks everyone who has been helping me out...if you look at the two keyboard pictures attached this is how i have my oud tuned (forget the octaves for now). The top version doesn't sound right because the G and A are right next to each other and when i play something on those two strings it sounds funny. Now is the correct way to tune for DGADGC the top version or the bottom keyboard version (where the A is the next octave up than the top version)? I appreciate your help everyone...

Hi

The top one is correct. The bottom G is mainly used as a drone.

Check out David's excellent website for help on tuning:

Hope this helps.
