Mimmo sent me an interesting idea. He agreed that I could forward it to you

Silk bass strings like the 19th c guitars Rob. My point of wiwe of course
This is why I think that the Gallicone was so suitable on bass line and
powerful. My idea is
Yes, my view is indeed that the gallichon/mandora (both the A and the D/E
size) always used overwound strings and were perhaps even developed especially
to make use of these, then newly invented, strings. I'm afraid tho' that this
is pure speculation since I've no evidence for it other
enough to send over
some mandora music for us to try out on the instrument. Not sure-is there a
difference between a mandora and gallichon? Are gallichons usually bigger than
mandoras?

Rob,
I'd be happy to lend you my large single strung gallichon in A for a few
months if you could pick it up and arrange insurance etc.
regards,
Martyn

Despite what the Barbarous Barber might say, Martyn is a very talented man -
he made his own gallichon, and is also a leading scholar in the world of the
gallichon, and although I've never heard him play, I'm told he is a fine
performer too. Maybe he would make you one, Dale? If not, I'm sure most
