Surprisingly, at the end of a MS of hymns in a Moravian Choralbuch there
are a few dances; some menuets (not minuets) and a couple of polonaises.
No instrument is specified but the tuning is GCEgbe, the ' maj7' tuning
associated with the cithrinchen. Moravian women are known to have played

I calculate all strings as carbon, and use a conversion chart for
various overspun brands.

Hi again Herbert, Martin, Arto et al.,
I have just spoken with the technician at Savarez. They are redoing
their website and hope to update their string calculator at some time
in the future.
In the meanwhile I managed to get some explanations regarding their
reference numbers for
Paul Beier's tool is indeed a very useful one ! I recommend it too. You can

Hi all,
as I already wrote earlier, the KFs can be calculated as "carbons", the
density 1791 Kg/m³ works well. Actually years ago I measured a KF string
with my micron and with pharmacy's precision scale. Then it was easy to
calculate the density ...

Hi Matthew,
Yes, it's a pity they don't provide us with an accurate PUL for the KF
strings as well! They just say they're roughly the same density as gut,
which is nonsense.
The PULs are also badly labelled because they just add a 2 (which is not
really part of the number) to indicate coppe
Dear Hubert,
I think there is some confusion here. The PUL number (poids par unité de
longueur) is given by Savarez for its overwound strings so as to be able to
calculate tensions and varies from one type of overwound string to another. It
is not an indication per se of light or heavy tensions
Hi Herbert,
You don't say whether your lute is 11c, 13c bass rider or 13c
swan-neck, but I would say that in my experience low tension stringing
does not work with wound strings. The combination of wound strings,
playing thumb-inside and over the rose, as many modern players do, gives
rise
