For loaded strings, what is the evidence that one would expect to find? Shaun
Apart from the fact that the knowledge existed at the time for loading
silk and leather in a process generally called dyeing, most of the clues are
indirect but have been mentioned here in the previous
Dear Shaun,
You ask: 'But then what is the explanation for thin bass strings on
lutes? For loaded strings, what is the evidence that one would expect
to find?'
The explanation for thin bass strings on at least some lutes (I presume
you're referring to measurements of bidge
Dear Jaroslaw
Thank you again for raising the discussion. I quite understand
and am very happy that you are busy, a very good thing for a musician.
It happens that I have to travel for the next few weeks (unfortunately,
not on tour as for yourself), so it would be best for
Dear Martyn,
Yes, I am aware of these things. The evidence for loading on strings is? Or has
the lute world already made a collective decision not to ask this question

Dear Shaun,
As said, the nub of the case is set out in my last but one email. And,
of course, the many, many others from numerous people commenting on
the matter over the moths (and years).
Anthony Hind and Mimmo Peruffo, to name but two, are amongst those
providing or
Ah well - It looks like we have started arguing in circles using
hypotheses that don't lend themselves to testing. Until we can get
hold of a fragment of an old thin bass string that can be subjected to
physical and chemical analysis, this argument will go on and on without
Hi Shaun, Hi Martyn,
unfortunately I cannot say too much on this topic, at least for the 17th
century.
For sure wound strings had been available in the 18th century.
At least Frank Legl has found some accounts around 1750 in Munich, where
there are mentioned halb umsponnene Saiten (= half

How about Zedler?
The 64 volumes were published between 1732 and 1754, vol. 33 describing interesting
things on the topic of saite, like the process of manufacturing, different
colours and materials. No loading, I'm afraid, but overspuns, though they seem to serve
as a kind of jewelery
Well, wouldn't this mean that every time we see a painting of an instrument
with strings, we would have to consider one more stringing option, instead of
just gut or wound? It says something quite important, that metal strings on
instruments existed. Now, in the light of this, interpretation of
