[LUTE] Problems with new nylgut string on top course

2014-09-04 Thread simon.lambert
Dear Lutelisters, I am trying to replace the top course on a lute with a 0.4 mm new nylgut string, and I am finding that these strings constantly break at the nut before coming up to pitch. I have tried three strings and they all have broken. Previously the lute had an old nylgut string

Dear Simon and Listers, I don't have nylgut on my lute, but have several vintage guitars strung with it, both old and new, and be advised that I believe the material is a bit different. A I've found I need to allow about a one week break-in time to stretch out. A I tune it until the

In my experience, the nng trebles are problemmatic. Firstly, I do not think the sound very good, and secondly, they snap and break, not anywhere as good sounding or durable as the old ones. My suggestion is to use nylon trebles. Nylon sounds better and is durable. Ed Sent from my iPhone

I'll agree with you, Ed, on the durability. Tuning to pitch got sorted out with the corrected diameter. As for sound it's a question of whether you're selling your soul to the devil in a contract signed with black ink or blue. Sean On Sep 4, 2014, at 10:22 AM, Edward Martin wrote: In my

Dear Simon, One has to be wary about the nomenclature for nylgut strings as Aquila change their formula without informing customers. The old white nylgut was replaced by the 'new' rather sickly yellow material a few years back. The 0.40 diameter strings were very problematic and would indeed
