If you\u2019ve just unboxed your oud or replaced the strings, here\u2019s how to tune it:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Start with the 6th string (D)<\/strong>
    Use a chromatic oud tuner<\/strong> or tuning app. Turn the peg gently until the pitch matches D.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Continue upward<\/strong>: A, E, B, F\u266f, C\u266f
    Always tune up to the note<\/em> for better stability.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Match the string pairs<\/strong>
    Each string course has two strings. Tune both so they sound perfectly in unison.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    Check for pitch drift<\/strong>
    After initial tuning, re-check strings as others may have shifted.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
