Good comments, Mimmo. I must say I am impressed with the Loaded Nylgut
strings, and will definitely use them on from 6th
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.

The paired octaves fit quite well with the bass string giving the impression
of a single string.
