what is tuning for Arabic qanun?
I can't find an answer that makes sense anywhere. I only see that the lowest string is G, and the rest? I assume this is with the mandals in the down
position.
Thanks,
Ren

Yes, the lowest string is G, then A, B, C, D, E, F and so on. The mandel closest to the tuning pegs stays up, the rest down, unless you want to change
the accidentals.
