Dear Karl,
Thank you so much for the clarification and it seems at last we have
some idea of the density of PVDF and "KF" strings.
Savarez are ahead of all other string manufacturers in using PUL to
identify strings. It means you can compare wound strings of various
kinds with unwound
Dear all, esp. martin
The table of calculator results has not tranferred correctly. Now
another try:

Dear all,
The PUL parameter of Savarez strings is the mass of 100m string length,
so NFA 230 is a nylon multifilament string wound with silver plated
copper that has a mass per length of 230 g/100 m.
Given the PUL in g/100m, you can calculate for wound strings (following
from
I calculate all strings as carbon, and use a conversion chart for
various overspun brands.

PS: Matthew, I'm not sure the technician gave you the right formula.
Hi again Herbert, Martin, Arto et al.,
I have just spoken with the technician at Savarez. They are redoing
their website and hope to update their string calculator at some time
in the future.
In the meanwhile I managed to get some explanations regarding their
reference numbers
Paul Beier's tool is indeed a very useful one ! I recommend it too. You can
download it from there: http://www.musico.it/lute_software/index.html
Best,

Hi all,
as I already wrote earlier, the KFs can be calculated as "carbons", the
density 1791 Kg/m³ works well. Actually years ago I measured a KF string
with my micron and with pharmacy's precision scale. Then it was easy to
calculate the density ...

Hi Matthew,
Yes, it's a pity they don't provide us with an accurate PUL for the KF
strings as well! They just say they're roughly the same density as gut,
which is nonsense.
The PULs are also badly labelled because they just add a 2 (which is not
really part of the number) to indicate
Dear Hubert,
I think there is some confusion here. The PUL number (poids par unité de
longueur) is given by Savarez for its overwound strings so as to be able to
calculate tensions and varies from one type of overwound string to another. It
is not an indication per se of light or heavy
Hi Herbert,
You don't say whether your lute is 11c, 13c bass rider or 13c
swan-neck, but I would say that in my experience low tension stringing
does not work with wound strings. The combination of wound strings,
playing thumb-inside and over the rose, as many modern players do, gives
11 matches
