Just put "carbons" to my strange "archlute" 67/100 cm. Nylon on top g' and 30 year old Pyramids on the 3 lowest basses - worn out enough not to be too loud and ringing. And _singles_ on the fingerboard. I really do not know, do I love or hate that setting! The single strings fool me making the theorbo style arpeggiation: p-i-m-i all the time. Too much re-entrant playing perhaps? ;-) Anyhow possibly a useful stringing - I'll test some duets with a harpist in that way...
