Hey guys it would be great to have information about tuning used by famous cumbus/oud players, wouldn't it?
For example, it's difficult for me to guess which one is Richard Hagopian's in the album 'Gypsy Fire'.
Ara Dinkjian, Haig Yazdjian, Munir Bashir, Farid El Atrache, Anouar Brahem, Said Chraibi, Yurdal Tokcan, Joseph Tawadros, Simon Shaheen, Yorgo
Bacanos...
Also information on Greek outi tunings is welcome.
I know that in one of his albums the moroccan Omar Metioui plays CEADGC.
Regards.

Simon Shaheen uses CFADGC primarily, occasionally using DGADGC.
I believe Anouar Brahem uses FCDGCF.
Charbel Rouhana uses a 7-course oud, I think he tuned it CFADGCF, though the 2nd lowest course may have been G, I can't recall.
I'm sure Ronny knows Munir Bashir's tuning, and Mav probably knows most of the Turkish players' tunings.
