I have just received an experimental synthetic loaded string from Mimmo Peruffo
of Aquila. Here are photos permitting you to compare the aspect of the new
string with that of a loaded Venice, and also a
previous generation HT loaded:

Well, I'm not in the UK, but... Unfortunately, one of the greatest proponents
of classical mandolin, UK denizen Alison Stephens, is recently deceased. She
was a student of the late Hugo D'Alton, was loved, and is missed. She taught

follows:
Treble.
Small Meanes.
Great Meanes.
