Raw fish became a habit in Japan only about 200 years ago, and previously
was served similarly but pickled.
So I see no reason not to use processed

Raw fish is pure, unprocessed food, but not to everybody's taste.
There is some analogy with gut strings.
That was my point.
And one that was not missed by everyone.

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I was speaking of the historicity of using
non-metal wound (gimped in period) for the lower octaves on a six course
vs. thicker gut. In my case I'm using Nylgut because I haven't developed
my playing skills to the point that I'm willing to put the money and time
Hi,
David seems to be fanatical about his gut strings and in turn not quite open to
the qualities of nylgut.
I use nylgut for the top four courses on my renaissance lutes and renaissance
guitars. It is very rare that I have to retune at all during a concert. But
this may also be due to the

True.

Not true. My experiences with nylgut on a romantic guitar were not very
good. The sound was not to bad, ask Benjamin as he heard the cd, but the
tuning was a problem. More so than

Quality of the instrument could certainly be a factor. But it's
G'day Craig and all,
A few weeks I had a concert with my renaissance ensemble in a theater
and the hot spotlights gave me extreme tuning problems with metal
strings of my cittern, but my lutes stayed well in tune.
Now there's a testamonial one rarely hears about lutes. ;)

Hi Sean,
I think you mentioned Annapolis...I heard my first lute concert at
Great Hall at St John's --probably the best hall in town.
I'm about 20 miles south near by not quite overlooking the Bay. And I've heard
St. John's is nice but I haven't had the opportunity to attend a concert there.

Hi Craig,
Roped would be the 2- or 3- strand gut bass strings sold by Aquila
(V-gut), Dan L and others. I would definitely choose this over the
loaded gut but I haven't tried the gimped versions yet.
I'm not sure how gimped strings apply to pre-1580 music. I do know that

Hello, Sean!
That is not exactly how I use them. For my baroque lute, I do not start
with any metal until the 10th course. For my 8 course lute, I used Pistoy
5th 6th courses, as I try to avoid any of the gimped for the 6th, as
sometimes it is too stiff has some intonation problems, in

and have problems with Nylgut going out of tune.
Unstable for me, and untrue in
with any metal until the 10th course. For my 8 course lute, I used Pistoy
5th 6th courses, as I try to avoid any of the gimped for the 6th, as
sometimes it is too stiff has some intonation problems, in relation to
its octave. So, for me, no metal on the 6th.
I have one lute with gimped
