To my ears, this sound, not unlike the sympathetic strings on the
sitar, are rather interesting as a novelty. In the long run, I would
probably grow tired of it, and yearn for the natural "silvery"
sounding lute. But in small doses, absolutely! Perhaps combined with
the famous thimbles? :) I have noticed the same effect on my silent
guitar, when the strings are lowered too much, but not so defined.
Quite pleasant in fact.
