I've never used nylon on a lute, only nylgut and PVF. Thanks! TG On Tue, Oct 31, 2017 at 11:00 AM, Dan Winheld <[1]dwinh...@lmi.net> wrote: Very cool discovery! Thanks. Could it be some form of the stuff referred to as "Carbon" or "Flourocarbon"- the KF (in gauges up to.91) made by Savarez?

So if there's anyone out there needing a cheap string replacement and don't like the Flourocarbon stuff, buy those- It's quite transparent though, but has a nice sound. Ask for sound samples if you're interested.
