A good many players seem to be unaware of such a law. At an LSA some years ago, when loaded gut was still novel, Jakob Lindberg did a concert on his 13-course in which he used a unison sixth course before intermission and octaves after intermission. Kathy Liddell "incubated" the after-intermission string for him on her lute. -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
