Dear Miles-
thanks, I don ´t know why I didn ´t think of that! It is a good idea.

Thanks Martyn,
the problem that arised was to find strings long enough at this

"regular" catalogue. But yes- I also believe that the Puget painting
The problem with having unisons on 7, 8, etc is how far to go before the
transition to octaves, and how noticeable that transition is going to
be. Good luck, Magnus!
BTW, does anyone have a really good reproduction of the Puget they could
share? I only have a very indistinct one.

Four pieces are in the lute book of Hessen-Homburg. The actual owner of this
book is not known and I donât have a copy.
One piece is in F-Pn Rés. Vmb. ms. 7, p. 223 âLes Plaisirs de Gautier mis

Would it be an acceptable solution, for the 7th course, to make an exception
and use an octave string whose density is less than that of gut? A nylon octave
would have a thickness of .4mm or more. In the grand scheme of things would it
sound out of place in comparison to the remaining diapasons
Thank you, Andreas !
