58.5 cm, Arabic tuning, medium tension 2, wound g - LaBella

  A well calibrated medium high tension set, averaging around 3.5 kilos in the mids and 3.7-3.8  inthe highs and low C. This set increases the tension  in the mids and upper strings over my medium tension 1 set.This is close similar in tension to what Faruk Turunz sets  his ouds up with, though this set is a little more balanced. This set uses a wound gg, providing a smoother timbral transition between registers and avoiding the tubbiness that a nylon at this tension and scale length would produce ,C .044w F .0345w x2 A .027w x2 d .023w x2 g .019w x2 c' .027RN x2 For a 7 course for this set, use the high f' of .022RN.
