Thanks for the info, I will compare it with the values usually used by
lutenists here in Brazil and let you know about the possible
deviations I may find!
How do you like the sound of new nylgut compared to the old nylgut ?
And compared to other strings?
Thanks, Ernesto

Could you tell us your string length, string diameters & tension, pitch
standard?
Thank you, Dan
Here are the infos :
Strings : NNG (new nylgut Aquila) KF (Savarez KF) Lute string length
60 cm,
A 440
The references of the KF are from luthier Carlos Gonzales (Spain) and
for
the NNG, calcul made by luthier Wolfgang Früh, in Paris.
1: NNG 38 (too thin I think I'll try 40 next time) tension = 3.33kg
2: NNG 48 t = 2.98 kg
3: NNG 64 t = 2.97 kg
4: NNG 79 t = 2.85
5 : KF 84, NNG 52 t = 2.43 , 2.77 (I'll try to change the 84 KF by the
NNG
next time)
6: KF 116, NNG 70 t = 2.60, 2.82
7: KF 127, NNG 79 t = 2.47, 2.85
8: Kurchner copper KN 5185, NNG 94 t = 2.76, 2.86
(will try to change the KN by a Savarez KF, but I'm afraid it will be
too
big fot the bridge and peg holes ???)
