And Bill, I actually just replaced the old, very old - 1980's! -
Pyramid basses of my 10-courser to Aquila's D's. Great improvement!
Some examples of those D's (and also mainly NNG's):
Entree de Luth - Branle de Village 1 - Branle de Village 3.

Good question, David.
They're very old Pyramids and although silvery in colour, it looks like
silver plating on top of copper. I'd have thought that sweat and dirt
might have calmed them down after all these years, but . . . :(

Bill,
Are you using silver or copper wound? I found that the copper wound are
less "zingy" than the silver wound (at least on my lute).
