Well, if you're right Ed, I wonder why the strings are so white (whiter
than the octaves) - in my experience gut strings are generally browner
the thicker they are.
Dan, I meant the KF harp strings (i.e. the thicker sizes from .95mm
upwards) which are quite white and slightly textured, unlike the thinner
PVF strings which are clear (like nylon). I have been using them for
5th and 6th course on renaissance lutes, and some of my customers have
been using them for lower strings as well. I would expect them to work
well on 11c lute, since the thickest would only be about 1.7mm and
they're mostly used as open strings.
