Aquila Reds Arabic Oud String Set
 
13O – ARABIC OUD
 
Per Aquila's website, the dd 3rd course strings in this set are silver-plated wound, not red copper-finished as the strings in the rest of the set.
 
Full sets and single strings for Arabic, Iraqi and Turkish Oud. Treble strings are made with a newly discovered high-performance bioplastic that we call Sugar. Wound strings are made of an an-allergic red copper winding (except for the third strings of the Arabic and Turkish sets, and for the fourth strings of the Iraqi set, that are wound with a special grey colored metal blend) with low noisiness under the left hand’s fingers
 
String conversion: Sugar gauge = Nylon gauge x .91
example: .71 mm Nylon x .91= .646 mm Sugar ( in practice .65 mm)
