Which strings for this tuning?


Hi!
I use this tuning:
D E A D G C

And I'm thinking about trying to use double strings on the D too. Which string set would you guys recommend to use?
Which caliber?

Thanks a lot!

That is a strange tuning, what led you to choose it?

What is the string length on your oud (nut to bridge)?

Is it floating bridge or fixed bridge?

when i first started i tuned d g a d g c. at some point i changed to c f a d g c.

if you are on a budget and are unsure (at this stage) what strings suit your style of playing try those:

i find them good all-rounders. they will certainly do the job for the time being until you find your feet and start to figure out what exactly you're after.

If I was going to guess, I think the Daniel Mari strings would actually be the best choice.
