Can I use EJ95 d'Addario on a 57cm floating bridge oud?
Greetings,
I bought (by mistake) d'Addario EJ95 instead of EJ95A and since I'm willing to try them out, I would like to know what tuning would be suitable in my
case, do I stick with the turkish designed tuning or do a cc tuning? what do you think?
Thanks a lot,

If you string that set to F ff tuning the average tension will exceed 40 N per string for sure...which is too much.... taking in consideration that
most floating bridge ouds have cedar tops, which is somehow weak.

Thanks Omar, I've tried the following tuning : B F# G# C# F# B and it seems to be working fine (except for some buzzing on the lower f# string that I
fixed by using only one string instead of two)
I think that this tuning is lower and doesn't put too much tension, right?
Anyways thanks for your answer.
