it is not impossible. I have a Stephen Barber archlute and the SL for the first
pegbox is 650mm top string tuned as g' with a'=440. I use an old Nylgut .38 and
that has not broken. I must be lucky! It may be relevant that the top course
runs over the nut and to the first peg outside the pegbox.
Hi Paul,
I'll be honest, a scale of 65cm would be much more suited for a pitch
of F at AD0 - I think you'll find with a lute that is a little larger,
like this one, will sound so much better at that pitch. The whole
instrument will resonate better if you string it at the pitch it
much!

Hi Paul,
I have a 10c lute of 66cm scale. The highest I can take it with a
nylon chanterelle (the strongest material) is f# at A440 - and that's
really pushing it. I normally keep it at f. Even at f, with a nylgut
chanterelle, it tends to break quite frequently, which is why I

Hi Paul
There is a useful explanation of the breaking limits for strings on the
Aquila website:

I built a 63+ cm. length lute some years back, actually a bastard lute
in that it was Music Maker's flatback. I had the breakage problem with
the chanterelle also - I was pitching to A440 and tuning to G. Musical
nylon would last a few days, nylgut would break almost immediately. I
went to a
