Hi lutelovers,
I think that some more things must be considered, in matter of historical
baroque lute string tension and the hand position.
The first concerne the question of the fingers closer to to the bridge
like we can see on 17 c. paints.
This is an old question, my suggestion point
Dear friends,
Nylgut was discovered here in Aquila (Italy) arround the 1996 year by me,
patented and put into the market just in the 1997. There is no link with
any tennis string; perhaps just the name (because was a copy?). I do not
know if there are tennis strings with nylgut name. Why th

Just an observation: the suggested average of the Breacking Index of a
modern gut string is 260 Hz/m. However, the full range of modern lute
strings ranging between 240- 300 Hz.mt.
This is true for the range of lute 1st string gauges. I mean 38 till

Hello Anthony,
My first answer is: yes, for the string formula the diameter is,
teorethically, ininfluent. So the breacking index is always the same.
However, in practise there are some difference due to the surface
treatments ables to do a string polished etc etc.

Hi Taco,
I am working on such problem since few years.
I am quite sure that, at the Weiss' time, basses were open wound on gut
cores.
No plain gut at all: simply it do not work.
I have made some samples of such open wound strings and I must say that they
are very interesting.
There are a lot of

Hello,
I would kindly suggest to all our customers not to confuse internal

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
in the proper way maybe there is , soon, a new alternative to
fluorocarbon and wound strings for the 4, 5 6th courses, lond
diapasons etc.
My best regards

Unfortunately, 90% almost of players were not happy due to the slippering

The paired octaves fit quite well with the bass string giving the impression
of a single string.

Well, a sustain of 20 seconds or so on is very impossible even with modern
wound strings, whose density is 5 times plain gut: i remember that the
modern wound strings has the best gain over all the bass strings types.
Mersenne wrote that he is mentioning the last bass string; i.e. the ticker.

One thing nobody seems to have mentioned is the vast differences in sustain
from one instrument to another. Maybe Mersenne's comments go to show just
how good
a lot of things: but they
cannot be done so good to be better than any modern wound string. This
because the sustain is relate to elasticity and density.

Dear Bruno,
The problem can have different explanations

Why a string can give this problem?

tuning. I have seen this thing a l
I have another opinion.In order to preserve the so called equal feel of

then the bass string. I suggest around 5% more. Why? because even if you
