I was hesitant to pay so much money for a set of Oud Strings whilst there are several other cheaper brands.
I have been a professional oud player for over 30 years and tried almost all brands of strings in the market but always there was something missing in the sound.
I have come across Hannabach Aoud Strings by chance but was surprised of the high price. However when I read the description I was attempted to sacrify my money and buy them.
I really do not regret that , these are the most sounding strings I have ever tried. They doubled the sound of my Oud and I could play all fine touches on my oud without losing any definition. I do not think I would be able to play again on any other strings. I have 5 high quality ouds and I could hear the difference, in fact I have stopped playing on the rest of the ouds that have ordinary strings.
I high recommend trying Hannabach strings but please treat them softly because they are really precious.
