Thanks Igor! I am really in a good company there! :-) Thanks really! And really no nails. But what do you think of our Banchieri: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7054543506483973843&hl=en In this project I had strung my archlute by single strings. Now it has double courses. To me there are only practical differences between the two, no "no other ways". I do not feel like cheating... What works is best? And what is your comment of me using only the "synthetic" string materials? Nylgut, "carbon", even nylon and even sometimes old Pyramid wounds? Shouldn't it be only guts? All the best, Arto To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
