Unfortunately there have been serious issues with the new loaded nylgut strings. Availability has been erratic ( I believe that there have only been two batches so far, the second stiffer than the first) with promises of delivery of certain references delayed by several months. Some gauges brea

Hello all the name of the Japanese brand is 'Seaguar' (made by Kureha) and they produce lots of different carbon fishing line. I made real good experiences with their 'orange line' of Fluorocarbon line - this goes up to .91, but the thicker ones (more than .52) are not easy to get in Europe

Just to clarify: The Japanese fishing line, Savarez KF, and Kürschner "PVF" are all the same material - PVDF (not "carbon" or "carbon fibre"), with a density about 38% greater than gut.  All have been available for many years. The Savarez KF strings are monofilament up to .91mm then "multi-co

Thanks for the info Martin. I was particularly interested to learn that from 0.95 upwards Savarez strings are multi-coated. I at last understand why when I cut a long PVDF in two to put on the fifth course of a lute, one of the resulting strings was false going up the fingerboard but fine when

Dear All, I heartily endorse all praise for Mimmo, who has done so much to help us with stringing our lutes in a way which is closer to historical.  I know he is fundamentally someone who is addicted to the lute and I'm sure he would like to dedicate his efforts to serving us lutenists.  Unfo
