Dear friends at the lute list, Could anybody tell me how close to gut is nylgut?
I started using nylon on my 8 course lute, the strings were thick and the sound was a bit muffled. Then I moved to nylgut, which seemed to me better sounding but I feel I don't have the right gauges because the first and the second courses seem to be too much thin as well as the sound they produce. Nylgut sounds very bright and clear but I feel it lacks a bit of resonance. What do you think? Bruno Correia. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
