Hello Stuart,
I have one lute strung with gut, and one with synthetic (both 'G', 60
cm mensur). On the synthetic I use a Pyramid 0,475 string for the
first course (a New Nylgut string tended to break). Second, third and
fourth courses are New Nylgut (sorry, I don't have the gauges at hand).
The fifth course is KFG, which I think is nylon/carbon synthetic. The
sixth through eighth are copper wound fundamentals with New Nylgut
octaves. For me, I find this the best synthetic solution.
Good luck,
Ned
