SPECIAL NOTE: No Warranty on Strings.

On occasion instruments may arrive with a broken string, therefore, it is recommended that you purchase a replacement set of strings and consider changing your strings as soon as it arrives. We recommend the LaBella OU80 String Set. If you want to tune this shorter scale Turkish Oud in the Arabic style (D, G, A, D, G, C), we recommend the D'Addario J95 Oud string set.

NOTE: We do not recommend tuning the J95 oud string set in the Turkish style.
