Anthony,
Talking about the proper choice of strings for the lute can be very
difficult. It is a very personal thing. We try to find historical evidence,
but we struggle to make our instruments to sound best as well. As far as the
historical data is concerned we can come to some conclusions.
Dear Mimmo,
Firstly I’d like to congratulate you for inventing a new type of bass strings,
as those of us who would like to use plastic equivalent of gut had very little
choice until now. Your CD strings sound nice with quite solid fundamental. The
only problem that I found disturbing is their
No problem at all, they could be darker (even better!). Anyway it’s quite a
good idea IMHO. If some like overwounds they can always use just…ocerwounds;) I
really can’t see any point in imitating overwounds.
Please let us know if you make a new stiffer batch.

Actually I meant KF strings. String ends have to be split (whittled if you
like), otherwise they are so stiff that tying them would be very difficult.
Also they
