Arabic Oud Tuning (Do or C to C) | Oudinstrument.com

To tune an Arabic Oud using the common Do to Do tuning, follow these simple steps:
Start with the Strings:
Begin by attaching the strings to the pegs. Ensure they are properly secured, and each string is connected to the corresponding peg.
Locate the Do String:
Identify the string that represents the note "Do" (C in Western musical terms). This is usually the thickest string on the Oud.
Begin Tuning:
Use a reliable tuner to assist you in achieving the correct pitch for each string. When tuning the Do string, turn the peg until the tuner indicates that it is in tune with the desired pitch (C).
Proceed with Other Strings:
Once the Do string is tuned, use it as a reference point to tune the rest of the strings in sequence. The notes for this common tuning are usually Do, Sol, Re, La, Fa, Do.
Check Tuning Accuracy:
Regularly check the tuning of each string, making adjustments as needed. This ensures that the Oud maintains accurate pitch and produces the desired sound.
Deeper Sounds:
Note that the Do to Do tuning on the Arabic Oud tends to produce deeper and resonant sounds compared to other tunings like the Iraqi or Egyptian Oud, which commonly tune Fa to Fa.
Remember to take your time while tuning, and make small adjustments to avoid over-tightening the strings. This will help you achieve a balanced and harmonious sound on your Arabic Oud. Happy playing!
