Hi Bruno,
We have received the same feedback from a couple of customers these
days at Cuerdas Pulsadas, so I am going to try them in the renaissance
lute to check if this is something specific of not.
Regards.

Dear Collective wisdom,
I have been tuning my 5 and 6th course in octaves for years, with
wound
strings and gut or nylgut.
recently I bought the CD loaded strings from Mimmo and am slowly
getting used to them. I have thus replaced the fundamental with
CD
loaded, while keeping my octave strings in gut or nylgut, this on
two
different lutes.
I have noticed that the octaves are horribly out of tune as I go
up the
neck, especially by the time you get to the 7th fret. I
realize I
rarely have to play up there, but it bothers me. Am trying to
figure
out what the problem is.. would it be a mismatch of tension? or
would
it be the Loaded CD strings, that as some of you have probably
found to
be very elastic. I have never had this issue with wound
string/gut
combinations.
I will be testing each string individually to check which one
goes out
of tune as you move up the scale, but I suspect it is the Loaded
string
that is giving me the problem.
any comments?
Bruno
