I can no longer tolerate the banjo-esque timbre of nylon and over-spun bass strings, except in the hands of a very few exceptional players. Gut and only gut.

"identified" "dodgy intonation" also by nylon (etc.) strings, not only by gut strung instruments. And also pure and enjoyable intonation by both! Intonation certainly is not a question about the string material, but - well - it is a question about the "intonator", the player! And you certainly should be able to fine tune your intonation better than equal temperament. Strong fingers and not too much string tension... ;-) Arto On Fri, 21 Oct 2011 12:19:14 -0400, "Roman Turovsky" wrote: However there is a occaional give-away: one can often identify gut by its dodgy intonation.
