Once again Mimmo, many thanks for all your efforts and for taking the trouble to listen to us out here! I much liked your old loaded gut and I still have some on various lutes (including the 6th course of a large theorbo where it smooths the transition to the long basses). Close to these earlier loaded strings would be my choice but they should certainly not be less dull or less sustain than these. If in doubt perhaps a mixing of the two ingredients if this is possible? Sorry to add to your choices. regards Martyn __________________________________________________________________

Unfortunately i cannot do it I already image how confuse the thing will be with the customers. This mean the eford to mannage twice products and honestly I do not like to add cofusion in the factory and with customers already stressed by me! I should do a choice and in fast time: is it better a more elastic string like these are (whith problems related to the fact that maybe stretch tooo much and that the sound is too bright) or it is better to switch to a less elastic plastic support with the advantage that it stretch less, the sound is darker and with less sustain? Hard to do the choice: both solutions are ok; i already tried the second option that is similar to the loaded gut strings Even Anthony Bailes suggested me the second option. Strings or not to strings? this is the question ah ah (my poor english at work) Ciao Mimmo ps which are your suggestion guys? -----Messaggio originale----- From: Arto Wikla Sent: Thursday, February 02, 2017 9:46 PM To: Mimmo Peruffo ; [1]baroque-lute@cs.dartmouth.edu Subject: [BAROQUE-LUTE] Re: Baroque Lute Stringing Dear Mimmo, if you decide to make the loaded nylgut strings (CD) less elastic, I hope (and wish and urge ;-) ) that you keep also the original elastic version in your repertoire! They work exceptionally well on my Harz arclute, great stuff. And big thanks for your invaluable work!
