Once again Mimmo, many thanks for all your efforts and for taking the
trouble to listen to us out here!
I much liked your old loaded gut and I still have some on various lutes
(including the 6th course of a large theorbo where it smooths the
transition to the long basses). Close to these earlier loaded strings
would be my choice but they should certainly not be less dull or less
sustain than these. If in doubt perhaps a mixing of the two ingredients
if this is possible? Sorry to add to your choices.
regards
Martyn

Thank you for the suggestion Arto.
Unfortunately i cannot do it
I already image how confuse the thing will be with the customers.
This mean the eford to mannage twice products and honestly I do not
like to add cofusion in the factory and with customers already
stressed
by me!
I should do a choice and in fast time: is it better a more elastic
string like these are (whith problems related to the fact that maybe
stretch tooo much and that the sound is too bright) or it is better
to
switch to a less elastic plastic support with the advantage that it
stretch less, the sound is darker and with less sustain?
Hard to do the choice: both solutions are ok; i already tried the
second option that is similar to the loaded gut strings
Even Anthony Bailes suggested me the second option.
Strings or not to strings? this is the question
ah ah
(my poor english at work)
Ciao
Mimmo
ps
which are your suggestion guys?

Dear Mimmo,
if you decide to make the loaded nylgut strings (CD) less elastic, I
hope (and wish and urge ;-) ) that you keep also the original elastic
version in your repertoire! They work exceptionally well on my Harz
arclute, great stuff.
And big thanks for your invaluable work!
