173.THE TAMBOURAS-TAMOURAS APART BY A MINOR OR MAJOR INTERVAL OF 3 OR 4 5-5-3m-5-5 or 5-5-4-5-5 TUNING OFTHE 6-STRING GUITAR OR OUD


This is the tuning


D2-A2-E3-G3-D4-A4  (for a children's 53 cm scale length guitar)

It is a 3-courses tambouras  D2-A2-E3  and an interval of minor of 3 higher a 3-curses tambouras or sazi G3-D4-A4.

Because the intermediate 4 strings A2-E3-G3-D4 have an minor  interval of 3  they it allows for two rows of ordinary major and minor chord triads that use  up to 3 frets.

Notice that the notes of the over all tuning D-E-G-A are notes that belong to  5-tonic scales

If the intermediate interval is that of major 3 it is the tuning

Db2-Ab2-Eb3-G3-D4-A4 


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

C2-G2-D3-F3-C4-G4

The above tuning seems to be  one with the absolute maximum number of strings an interval of 5 apart which also allows for easy up to  3 frets major-minor triads

Notice that the open intervals of 5 (power chords) that can accompany solos are the D-A (D minor or major chord) G-D (G major or minor chord) and A-E (A major or minor chord) and G-D-A are already in distances by interval of 5 that as as if   I-IV-V chords of D major or D minor diatonic scales


An alternative that the two tambouras are an interval of 4 LOWER re-entrance E.g.


F2-C3-G3-D3-A3-E4

5-5-(4)-5-5
