D'Addario EJ95A Arabic Oud Strings

Firstly, I swear by D'Addario's strings – I usually use the high-tension, silver-wound Pro Arte on my classical guitar. I've recently purchased an oud, and the instrument was desperately in need of new strings which are impossible to get in South Africa through ordinary means. Amazon exceeded my expectations. The strings arrived to my door within a week or two of me placing the order. And what a difference these strings make – it sounds like a totally different instrument. I will definitely purchase through this retailer again. (I must add that the date of delivery had been set much later, so I was totally surprised when the courier arrived WEEKS before I expected them.) And these are fantastic strings. Very bright sounding.

The media could not be loaded. These strings totally improved the tone of my Oud. I play an apprentice out from Maurice Oud Shop. They brought out the bass and allowed for deeper tunings. The sound was full and clear and just much better all around. I will be buying these strings from now on.

Very good sound and qualityMedium to light tensionPerfect for Arabic tuning Do--doThis product has nothing to do with the old generation of D'Addario J95

Good strings

If you want your oud to sound like a classical guitar made out of wet cardboard these are the strings for you.Strings take forever to settle, sound is dull, and are slow and sloppy on a 59cm oud.Only positives are no squeal on slides and nice packaging. I'll stick with pyramid 650Hard pass.

These work perfectly for Arabic tuning on an Oud. Very bright, too!

I have tried many oud strings before, however, this is the best quality and sound Ever !!

High quality strings, perfect sound.
