Dear Martyn
Hello Jaroslaw
I hope things are going well with you.
When you say of your Venice, "Yes, mine have split ends at the bridge."
Do you mean you have managed to separate the ends of the twine and pass
them separately through the bridge hole?
This is what Charles Besnainou does

problem. I have not tried thinning at the nut, but I suspect if it
could be done it might improve the sound still further. There is

By thinning them at the bridge, Martin, I suppose this allows the
diapason to be "seen" (as it were) at the bridge as a thinish loaded
string. The effective resonating diameter being that passing through
the hole and the extra diameter beyond the bridge behaving similarly to
loading,
Personally I love the singing sustain of the ones I have on my lute
now, but for many lutenists the elasticity is difficult to deal with,
both in terms of how it calls for a change in playing technique, and
also how they tend to stick on the nut. However, I also loved my loaded

Presumably FB was talking of dark diapasons and not bass courses
diapasons with their octaves? Modern wire wounds are very bright and
there is little need for strong octaves. Personally when using Venice
gut loaded that were quite flexible and dark, I moved to higher tension
