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.
