Dear List,
Want to inform you about suspected scam. I received and email from Brad Baker,
offering a baroque guitar which looked too good to be real, then I even called
the guy but once I asked more detailes he pretended he does not hear me
Then I serched in google and got this:
Dear Mimmo and All,
If I have understood you correctly, there is a sort of
contradiction : as gut becomes thicker, it must be treated to make
it more flexible (higher twist and possibly softening chemicals), or
else it becomes inharmonic. The more flexible it is, for a given

Hello Anthony,
My first answer is: yes, for the string formula the diameter is,
teorethically, ininfluent. So the breacking index is always the same.
However, in practise there are some difference due to the surface
treatments ables to do a string polished etc etc.
My 'more or
The degree of twist is decisive, when all the rest is equal for a given gut
(treatment, animal of origin, etc) for the breaking strength. I would hazard
that .44 is made with the same twist by the same maker as .42. Which means if
your instrument can take it, it will substitute for .42 just
Thank you both, Mimmo and Alexander, for your very complete answers
