All these types are made in standard tension (3.4 Kg average for each string).
Full sets for Arabic, Iraqi and Turkish Oud. Treble strings are made with a newly discovered high-performance bioplastic that Aquila call Sugar.
String conversion: Sugar gauge = Nylon gauge x .91
example: .71 mm Nylon x .91= .646 mm Sugar ( in practice .65 mm)
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.
