Not being a pro, I for one use nylgut on almost every lute, nevertheless: 13c lute on courses 1 to 5 (rest is organic plain gut from Aquila) 8c lute on courses 1 to 5 and octaves 6, 7, 8 mandora on each course except for the fundamentals of courses 4 to 8 descant lute, 1st course chitarrone on courses 1 to 7 (rest is Kürschner plain gut) -- Mathias http://mathiasroesel.livejournal.com To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
