It seems aforementioned LP Kaster is quite a prolific retired artist and
has put a lot of work into making those strings.
And then I found a recording of a Renaissance lute played by youtuber

I think Alexander is really an expert.
If he doesn't appear soon in this thread you could write to him directly

Dear Luca:
I have tried silk strings by Alexander Raykov on my lute and they are
quite nice. I think the basses are particularly superior to most gut
basses I have tried. I would use them again if I ever got around to
working out the diameters and tension.

I think David van Ooijen has probably experimented more than me, but I
bought a couple of pure silk shamisen strings once. It became clear to
me, that without knowing the guage, tension etc. it was kind of a shot
in the dark. They didn't sell them by gauge in the shop I bought them
I think Alexander is really an expert.

David,
What exactly did you like so much about your
former silk strings? The feel? The
stay-in-tune-ness? Did they sound much like gut?
Thanks,
Chris

Hi, all,
I don't have info for the makers mentioned, but there's a man near me in
Connecticut USA who makes silk strings: Alexander Rakov, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I've been very happy with them on my Asian instruments (san xian, dan nguyet),
but haven't yet tried them on early European instruments.
Thanks for the info.
Dunno about the caterpillars; I've always liked, rightly or wrongly,
the kitgut etymology--
or should it entomology for caterpillars?
