Hello
I just got my first Oud, which has 9 strings, for Christmas and was wondering what its tuning is
Please see http://youtu.be/ZozXP7IW5nQ
which you think is right: FAdgc, GAdgc, or EAdgc
______________
apart from that, I have noticed that when strumming, there is some noise (forgot the technical name for it -sorry). Is it me or the Oud? (I have to ay
I am a beginner)
Thank you

The tuning is... out of tune!
Haha, sorry, couldn't resist. Welcome to the forums. That bottom string is an E.... though everything but the E seems to be out, which makes me wonder
if that E was originally an E or something else.
Someone with knowledge of Bahraini ouds should be able to say what the tuning should be.
