So any idea what the Tuning of an Oud is anyone?
Lots of different tunings. Depends mainly on Arabic or Turkish, but there seem to be a lot of variations within those.
I assume the double strings function like a 12 string guitar?
Similar, but mostly in unison rather than octave.
with just one bass note at the top...
That's used more as a drone than a bass, AFAIK.

That Glissentar sounds so cool! DAmn why did they discontinue it? ???
I suspect because there was actually more of a demand for traditional-style ouds and fretless guitars than an unusual hybrid between the two.
