MusiCaravan
oud strings are made to exact specifications in collaboration with oud virtuoso
Üstad Necati Çelik, and we do supply him with these strings. (Necati
is considered by many to be the foremost classical oud player in Turkey today. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| There are two different sets. One has a label bearing Necati Çelik’s name and is designed for the tuning that he prefers, from bass to treble: B (or C#), F#, b, e, a, d'. This tuning is preferred by most Turkish classical musicians today because of its increased range and versatility when transposition is necessary. Both sets can also be used for Arabic ouds, however with Arabic tuning only (1 whole step lower). | ||||||||||||||||||||||
