Donatella et Roman,
I the use same mixture of Nylgut and Pyramid
strings on my ten course and find that it stays in
tune remarkably well, although I'm not that crazy
about the sound of the pyramid basses on this
instrument.
Roman - have you found this tuning stability to be
typical with carbon? I'm thinking of stringing my
theorbo at least partially with it.
