How to string an oud?

Are there any tips or links on how to string an oud?
Got a string just busted, a little clueless as to how to replace it.

I have spare strings.

Thanks

I wish you posted this a week earlier, I had just restrung my oud and could have taken photos and posted them.

Go the FAQs section of this part of the forum, scroll down and you'll find 'how do I tie strings to my oud'.
it's similiar to tying strings on to a nylon string classical guitar, and if you get stuck perhaps you could ask a friend who plays classical guitar to help. good luck mate! :)
