Howard is right - I was making assumptions about 17th C strings (that
their breaking pitch was roughly the same as modern gut strings, for
which issue I refer you to Mimmo) but even if their strings were much
stronger, we still have to contend with the tension problem - just how

hi,
I have uploaded a new Duo for 2 equal lutes with a few interesting harmonical
runs.

dear Martin, dear all,
In fact, accepting to play at modern pich A = 440 Hz with the maximum string
lengh possible with this pitch AND modern strings comes to that critical
size of 67 cm for the
strings lenght.
Most of he archlute original repertoire is (just) playable with this string
lenght.

Thank you for contributing to the discussion. Perhaps you could
say what diameter you would need for the double top string on this
instrument, if it was gut, and what you actually have with Titanium

Dear Valery
I know of at least one modern professional lutenist, living near
me, who has changed to all gut (including expensive loaded basses on
two of his Baroque lutes), this in spite of the price, just to achieve
an improved sound, particularly because he felt wound basse

No problem here - what consenting adults do on their own is their own
business. It's simply that if we are seeking a sound as close as
possible to what the Old Ones heard we ought to replicate what is known
of early stringing - and one thing is very clear: gut was generally

Well, that's your view. But please note that these 'titanium nylon'
strings reported by Anthony appear to be the very opposite of 'carbon'
strings: in that they are less dense than gut and even plain nylon
whereas 'carbon' strings are significantly denser than gut.

Dear Anthony,
You'll see that, in fact, I restricted my observations to trebles only:
stringing of other courses is more problematical - speculation on
loaded gut, catlines, very high twist strings and the like have yet to
be resolved.
