Oud Strings for Arabic Tuning – Balanced and Modern

This model is tailored for oud players requiring authentic Arabic tuning with dependable intonation. The Aquila 13O - Red Series, Oud String Set, Arabic Tuning - Standard Tension provides a thoughtfully engineered set for 11-string ouds. Unique material choices and careful construction help reduce unwanted squeaks, making each session more enjoyable.

Distinctive Features for Oud Players

Unlike standard oud strings, the 13O Red Series uses Aquila's proprietary Sugar bioplastic for trebles, resulting in a brighter and longer-lasting top end. Wound strings—crafted from red copper or a specialized grey metal blend—offer a smooth, allergy-friendly feel for the player.

String Materials and Construction

• Trebles: Sugar bioplastic — clarity and extended string life set it apart from nylon options.
• The wound strings combine red copper and a grey metal blend, engineered to keep noise low and resist allergies for comfort during longer practice sessions.
• Tuning: cc-gg-dd-AA-FF-C — supports widely used Arabic oud tuning in both traditional and modern music.
