It seems I am back playing Baroque lute once again, after rather a long hiatus. It’s been long enough that I have forgotten some of the points of conventional wisdom concerning stringing. I’m playing an 11c lute currently strung with silver-wound basses and Pyramid nylon mids and trebles. I’m not so much bothered by the sustain of the nylon strings, but if you folks can refresh my memory: what is the best choice of basses to get a sustain which is not downright thunky or chunky, but has shorter sustain than the silver-wounds?
