Dear Collected Wisdom,
As Im planning the stringing of a liuto attiorbato, Ive encountered some
difficulties. It will have seven courses on the fr
Have you considered gimped strings from Dan Larsen? The metal wire
embedded in the gut gives the string more mass, allowing a thinner string
for the basses.

I have calculated Savarez KFs as if they were "carbon" strings: 1791 Kg/m³
Works.

Dear Collected Wisd
Hi Matthias,
The liuto I made was 64/93cm and I tuned it to g' at a'=392, so the top
string was f' at modern pitch. You could potentially tune a semitone
higher, but with a double top string this seems too difficult.
I used all gut except the low basses from the 5th course downwards:
1 .40
I forgot to say - it is important to thin the KF strings - perhaps to
half their original diameter - where they go through the bridge and wrap
around themselves in front of the bridge. This not only makes them
easier to tie but improves the sound by making them more flexible in
this region.
Take a look at Dan Larson's gimped strings. The work well.
David

Kudos to those who are stringing attiorbatos correctly and not using
single strings. The liuto attiorbato is possibly my favorite lute
instrument. It is the most versatile of -all- lutes. I have two at the
moment and I'm planning on converting my ten course into a 14 course
attiorbat
