Hi David, I pressed a wrong key it seems,
Anyway here is the rest. Aa VN5120/PVF5049 Ee VN 5155/PVF5066 All strings by Kuerschner. It should be fairly easy to find the equivalent strings from other brands. Hope this helps, Cheers, Lex Op 15 december 2011 14:59 schreef David van Ooijen <[1]davidvanooi...@gmail.com> het volgende: Missing the point here. She wants a lute, but cannot afford one yet. She's given an old guitar, a handy friend did the conversion, so for the moment she can play lute technique, explore a new instrument and repertoire next to her classical guitar. Good for her. I can calculate a set of strings, no problem, but am curious for experiences of others who did the same: a lower tension than normal double set of guitar strings, we would like to keep the bridge on the instrument after all, but how much lower? Simply halve the tension to keep more or less the same total tension on the brdige? How about rattling strings in this case, and will half tension still sound on a normal guitar? Experiences appreciated. David On 15 December 2011 14:54, Rob MacKillop <[2]robmackil...@gmail.com> wrote: > Just get a regular 12-string guitar.
