Dear Arto and lute friend,
Following our discussion / your suggestions earlier this year, on Friday
last week I received a Q3 handy recorder. I started it immediately and
produced my very first video ever. Sitting in my study room I played an
anonymous sarabande from the Vienna lute manuscript

Hello,
I would kindly suggest to all our customers not to confuse internal
chat of lute society with pretty private questions concerning customer
and company.
The statement What has happend with Aquilla? could cause false
allarms to guys and to our customers.

Dear Mark
They are available here in Europe, I saw quite a good stock at
Wolfgang Frueh's when I got several strings; but Mimmo apparently sold
all his stock at the Greenwich festival.
He was making up new stock, but I don't know whether any had been sent
out to the US
Thank you so much about your help Anthony.
This morning I made 100 Kg almost of the Nw Nylgut strings with the
extruder machine. Yesterday I made the NGE type.
Now we need to rectify them ( 5-6 days almost of work) and package
them, that is quite a tedious operation Please
Mark
I should add that I am, myself, a little frustrated as I can't get a
200c loaded string for love or money. I really need this string to
operate a tweak on my Baroque lute. I managed to find all the others, I
needed at BN in London, or at Wolfgang's in Paris.
Yet, I quite
Mimmo sent me this photo of the first 10kg of his new NNG stock.

Retailing at 1 euro per gram, say? That's quite an impressive armful

I do have experience with using brass wire on early Neapolitan mandolins. I
hope somebody with direct experience with chitarra battente also weighs in.
Given the similarities in construction between early chitarra battente and
early Neapolitan mandolins, I suspect the stringing was probably also
Andrew Hartig, who edited the recent LSA Quarterly on wire-strung
instruments, in now making wire strings for things like citterns,
bandoras, orpharions and English guittars. I like his string better
than what I used to get from NRI and they are considerably cheaper in

Thanks for this word, Nancy. Do you know if he is making strings of twisted

Yes, he made strings for the 7th course of my bandora. He's on this
list so perhaps will add a comment on how many strands were in these
strings - I forget.

Dear Anthony,
I need to apologize for not identifying you initially as one of the worthy
great ones who should have these strings first, and am glad to hear you
obtained at least some of them. There are genuine advantages to living in the
civilized world instead of the provinces. Have you
Dear Dan and Ed
Thank you so much for your suggestions. I am sure either the
silver wirewound or the gimped would work, and are both excellent
strings in their own right. And yes, had there been a gold gimped, I
dare say I would have tried them on C11 and D10 (if I could
Perhaps that is the effect of flash. My chanterelle was like a very
light coloured piece of gut; but, it is true that the 100 Meanes I have
not yet tried, is slightly yellower. Therefore, I rather guess that the
colour comes from so many bunched up together. An ultra thick NNG like
A few years ago, I saw one of the gold gimped strings. It was
beautiful. I have not asked Dan Larson about them for years, but I
can imagine that now the cost would be absolutely prohibitive. But
now he uses Sterling silver with the gut, and I can tell the
difference as compared to copper
At first, I had a copper Gimped on 7c of my Baroque lute, between a
loaded Venice 8c and a 6c Venice. There was absolutely nothing wrong
with the Gimped string in itself, but to me close to the lute, it
sounded brighter than the surrounding strings (perhaps a silver or a
gold gimped
