I once was given a Rainsong guitar to try, they make carbon-fibre
steel-string guitars. It was an astonishingly good guitar, and I used it the
day I got it for a live solo radio broadcast. I didn't buy it because I
already had a good acoustic, but I was impressed. The thing is, it had a
great sound

Yes, I was being a little facetious about synthetics, but I do
think there can be a plasticky sound to some strings. As i said once
before, the effect is accumulative both for gut and for synthetics,
because of sympathetic resonances.
Here in France, I can assure you that lutes strun
Well, this may be heresy and I'll get burned at the stake again, but ...
These guys are making violins, violas, cellos and now basses with carbon fiber,
I wonder
how that would work as a lute back or back and sides for a classical guitar?

On a musical note: on several recordings of HS and POD, if the passage is
very soft,
at an ending or a cadence for instance, you can sometimes hear that they
only use the lower note on the bass course
to keep things dark and soft.
This, apart from the historical aspects of course.

From: Rob
Rob, and any one on the Baroque list,
All gut basses take a very log time to settle-in completely, and go
on improving for a surprisingly long time.
However, when I said that to David v. O., he told me it could be my
playing adapting to the strings, rather than the string developping.
It seems I got confused about this single 11th idea - I assumed it referred
to the fundamental. Now I see that all the info was there, I just misread
it. I don't think it is something I would consider, but a tighter octave
alongside the fundamental would probably be a good thing.

Dear Luca,
The relevant quotes from Burwell are in my essay on Rob's site:

A facsimile of the book was printed by Boethius Press but is probably
now out of print - can anyone advise?
The author of the Burwell lute tutor is thought to have been John
Rogers, who i
I think the idea of the single 11th course was possibly transitional - to
make a 10c into an 11c set up with single second course, leaving another
single for the 11th. My understanding was that this 11th course was an 8ve
and not a bordon.
Cheers

Thanks Theo and Anthony,
Yes, these gimped strings are new to me, the Pistoys too. So it's not just a
case of getting used to 11 courses and new repertoire, but new strings also.
I will doubtless experiment a bit over time, but gut basses are expensive!
I'd love to hear your Andy Rutherford 11c, T
