Good comments, Mimmo. I must say I am impressed with the Loaded Nylgut strings,
and will definitely use them on from 6th to 13th courses. Congratulations on
creating a very good string.

Well, a sustain of 20 seconds or so on is very impossible even with modern
wound strings, whose density is 5 times plain gut: i remember that the
modern wound strings has the best gain over all the bass strings types.

Good point, Howard. But still, twenty seconds is a long time. I am
certainly only interested in the time before clashing with the next
note or notes takes place, and that of course depends on the passage of
music. But generally speaking, even if we halve Mersenne's twenty
seconds,

So what are we to make of this? The movement in the last decade has been to
minimise the sustain as long as possible. I'm completely on board with this.
But if we are to take Mersenne at face value, we have been moving in the wrong
direction - we should be at least doubling the sustain time.

Hi Rob,
What exactly is the quote in Mersenne about the 20 second sustain?
Although my French is very poor, I've attempted to find it to no avail.

No contest-I use and love the Savarez (on my 8-course) not just because
of the sustain, but they pick up the vibrations from the treble strings
and give an ethereal sound to the instrument. It's like having your own
cathedral at home without the expense.

Thanks for sharing Rob, this is really helpful.
I have also uploaded a short video yesterday, trying out these new
synthetic loaded bass strings on a vihuela.
