Get a micrometer and measure it. You can't string lutes in the dark, and that's
where you are without a micrometer. If it's a .38 mm nylgut and your lute
requires a .40 or even a .42, you can get those sizes in nylgut. But you have
to know where you are in order to go somewhere else. The new
Dear trj,
My first choice is always real gut but there are mitigating factors.
Plan B, which includes most of my waking life and lutes, settles on

Hi,
I am using fishing nylon since now about 4 years with perfectly fine
results. It's plain, cheap and sings pretty well. And you can easily
buy more than 50 meters for about 6 Euros (at least in Italy).
Of course, you have to carefully measure the string length of your new

If Mimmo could sell loaded gut/nylgut bass strings (Bass fishing?) to the
