173 THE BOUZOUKI-TAMBOURAS AN INTERVAL OF MAJOR 3 APART 5-5-3M-5-5 E2-B2-E3-G3-D4-A4 TUNING OF THE 6-STRING GUITAR AND OUD

This is the tuning


Eb2-Bb2-Eb3-G3-D4-A4  (for a children's 53 cm scale length guitar)

It is a 3-courses bouzouki Eb2-Bb2-Eb3  and an interval of major of 3 higher a 3-curses tambouras or sazi G3-D4-A4.

Because the intermediate 3 strings Bb2-Eb3-G3 are of  intervals of 4 and 3 apart, it isanopen Eb major   it allows for ordinary major and minor chord triads with easy dominant and major 7nths.




For the oud and for a standard 66 cm scale length guitar one tone lower is more appropriate

Db2-Ab2-Db3-F3-C4-G4

The above tuning seems to be  one with the almost maximum number of strings an interval of 5 apart which also allows for easy 1 or 2 frets major-minor triads
