No, no, this lute is not out of tune, but quite purely tuned!
But the harmonies actually sound quite different from how we are used to...
I used the tuning in the Age of Enlightenment, 17th and 18th centuries.
In the modern "equal temperament" are the 3rds and 6ths quite detuned.
We don't notice that because we are used to it...
In this "meantone temperament" is tuned so that most of the intervals sound as pure as possible.
The pure intervals are based on the natural overtones and work positively for our mental health.

Oud & Lute King of Instruments
The origin of the oud belongs to the ancient times and similar instruments were used by the Babylonian and ancient Egyptian. Until today, oud is played as the "king of instruments" in Arabic culture.
The oud found his way to Europe in medieval times and it became "lute". During the Renaissance the lute was also regarded as the "king of instruments".
