58.5 cm, Arabic tuning, medium tension 2, wound g - LaBella

  A well calibrated medium high tension set, averaging around 3.5 kilos in the mids and 3.7-3.8  inthe highs and low C. This set increases the tension  in the mids and upper strings over my medium tension 1 set.

This is close similar in tension to what Faruk Turunz sets  his ouds up with, though this set is a little more balanced.

This set uses a wound gg, providing a smoother timbral transition between registers and avoiding the tubbiness that a nylon at this tension and scale length would produce ,
