Dear lutenists, yesterday evening I set the two top strings of my 11-courser to Mimmo's new nylgut. The first feel is very good, really good. Much better than the "old" nylgut (which is not bad, either). But at least the thin (42 and 50) NNG's come quite near to the touch and sound of (Mimmo's) gut strings. Perhaps only very slightly sharper sound, but very slightly. Anyway good sound and touch. Very.
Congratulations Mimmo! Very good work!! (And I'm eagerly waiting, what will happen with your idea of the "loaded" NNG bass strings!) After a while I'll test also thicker NNG strings. (And in any case my possible next "tubings" will have those 42 and 50 NNG's...:) Best, Arto To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
