Would it be an acceptable solution, for the 7th course, to make an exception and use an octave string whose density is less than that of gut? A nylon octave would have a thickness of .4mm or more. In the grand scheme of things would it sound out of place in comparison to the remaining diapasons

The problem with having unisons on 7, 8, etc is how far to go before the transition to octaves, and how noticeable that transition is going to be.  Good luck, Magnus! BTW, does anyone have a really good reproduction of the Puget they could share?  I only have a very indistinct one. Martin

Thanks Martyn, the problem that arised was to find strings long enough at this thinness. But a few string makers that I ´ve contacted can supply them in 1,5, 2,4 or 3 meters even though it ´s not part of their "regular" catalogue. But yes- I also believe that the Puget painting

Dear Miles- thanks, I don ´t know why I didn ´t think of that! It is a good idea. It ´ll sure be a lot of experimenting in the beginning to find the "perfect" setup for this instrument, but I ´m so eager to try it out! Magnus On Tue, Dec 12, 2017 at 6:34 PM, Miles
