The paired strings of each double course on a lute are not quite exactly the same in length (the bridge and nut are usually not exactly parallel, but also the string spacing is wider at the bridge than at the nut). Vagaries of tying at the bridge and in the shape of the groove in the nut could

The result is a bit of a surprise to me. There is no (obvious) reason why two identical strings, identically plucked, should differ in the energy distribution regarding the harmonics, even if coupled. One should of course expect beats because of the necessarily slightly different tuning of

Does it have anything to do with the time? Upstroke vs. Downstroke? (ie. they are not actually plucked at the exact same time)? Two strings plucked at the exact same time will stay in phase, of course, only if they are tuned together. As a numerical example, at A415, two strings initially in
