Question About La Bella Oud Strings
A little while ago I ordered some Oud Strings. I buy Turkish oud strings because that's the style of oud I play. One Package of the La Bella Strings I
bought says OU80, Turkish.
The second one I bought is still OU80, but doesn't say Turkish on it. I'm still assuming that this is a Turkish set because the LaBella Arab strings
don't use the number 80.
Is there any way I can make sure about this?

OU80 is the "Turkish" set. I don't recall them ever saying "Turkish" on them, they just said "Oud" and had the pitches on them (which matched
"Turkish" tuning). OU80A is the Arabic set. I think the "Turkish Tuning" is a very recent addition to the packaging. So you are fine, you just got
a set that is from before the change (which is fine, they last years in LaBella's packaging).
LaBella likes to change the packaging frequently because they are counterfeited a lot, they try to stay ahead of the counterfeiters.
