Info on pegs made of apricot
Hey Oud community,
I have a quick question for you guys, on my Oud, I have pegs made of apricot wood (mishmish), I am having little problems with them, the Oud get out
tuned pretty easily, they don't hold the tuning for long time, specially during summer, after an hour and half of practice the oud is out of tuning it
seems that all the strings go down all together, i have to tighten them up, i notice it a lot when I play with our orchestra, I played once in a live
performance and I was hitting the strings a bit harder because of the noise, I was out of tune every twenty minutes, is this normal? Is it because of
the mishmish wood? String quality, I have Labella for turkish ouds and the oud is tuned ddaaeebbGGDD (which is ok) they are 3 months old now.
Thanks for your help.
