Hello all
the name of the Japanese brand is 'Seaguar' (made by Kureha) and they produce
lots of different carbon fishing line. I made real good experiences with their
'orange line' of Fluorocarbon line - this goes up to .91, but the thicker ones
(more than .52) are not easy to get in
Very interesting indeed. Among the very first users of carbon strings
is Toyohiko Satoh, and the original company was called I think Seagar,
or something like that. They are a Japanese manufacturer of fishing
line. So, all who use carbon are using fishing line.

Hi George!
Thanks for sharing your experience! I was exactly looking for that
answer, but no one had attempted full stringing on a Renaissance lute
and I forgot.
What would you use for a 62cm Renaissance Lute 7c on G=415 or 432 Hz?
I'd be interested in a list and manufacturers, preferably
I normally use KF strings on the swan neck lute and copper wound gut
strings (Kürschner) on the short lutes.
The other day I had to replace one of the copper gut strings using a
KF. This allowed me to compare the sustain (covering all other strings)
- there was no difference.
George-
Very interesting what different people have come up with. So you are
able to get down pretty "deep" in the bass with fishing line? Quite
intriguing! Can you tell us what material, diameter and (if you've
figured it out) the tension of these strings? Only thing about your set
I never change from vieil ton to flat tuning or vice versa. My set of
strings has been for Mace's flat tuning ever since (G5 E5 C5 A4 E4 B3 - A3
G3 F3 E3 D3 C3)

Like Andreas, I've been playing in flat and sharp tunings with one set of
strings. In order to do so, I ordered strings in very low tension.

Makes me wonder about the term "Slack key" tunings for Hawaiian guitars-
that the change in tension is part of the fun...

Well Andreas, I really don't know how you manage to tune your
chanterelle down from g' to eb', for example and your second course
down from d' to c' and still be able to play correctly. I certainly
can't. Gut bass strings are certainly more tolerant of changes of pitch
and can work
I'm playing since years and years some transitional tunings on my 10c lute,
normally tuned in VT, without changing any strings - and other accords nouveaux

Of course the
Unfortunately it isn't really possible to play the music for 10-course
lute in transitional tunings without changing a number of strings (or
having a second lute) if you're coming from vieil ton. Even going from
one transitional tuning to another is problematic, especially with
respect to the
I don't play anything of the transitional tuning period, but my
experience with retuning between D or C on my eighth course makes me
wonder about the need to change strings for retuning. (I came up [aided
by Dan Larsen] with a gimped gut that's not too flabby on the C, not too
bright on
Unfortunately there have been serious issues with the new loaded nylgut strings.
Availability has been erratic ( I believe that there have only been two batches
so far, the second stiffer than the first) with promises of delivery of certain
references delayed by several months.
