Tunings are not the problem, it's just that there are many of them. Try re-stringing the thing!!!! Check out this web site-it'll have you sounding like a middle easterner in a few hours[:D] I got an oud to record some lines with, but it turns out that the music these guys play is deep. I learned a few maqams, then looked at the clock and hours had gone by.............You could fall off the side of the pool and forget about flamenco real quick. Heavy stuff requiring lots of learning. All new scales-just tons of them, and of course new tunings. Be careful -this is dangerous! www.pro.com.eg/oudtutor
