Glad to hear that. I'm anxiously awaiting the nylgut strings I've ordered for my charango that I've tuned as in the Skene Mandora Book. The mixture of nylon strings from my harp string inventory and left over segments from the lute excess isn't very satisfying (although I can hear what it wants to be). But I'll have to wait as my supplier (Aquila USA) is on vacation and his "shipping clerk" is his 78 year old mother <g>. Best, Jon To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
