HI Scot, That high g' is a long way to go up from a high d' as in a D/G tuned instrument. I would like to send you a couple of strings to try as a thank you for teaching me a song at OTW last year. Or I could bring them this year in about a week? I will need your address to send them. Hurdygurdycrafters Mel

It is a Boudet with the standard length lute body and I am trying to tune it one octave up from the chanter strings which are unison G. I have plenty of strings to tune it to C or D but I am looking for the right string diameter for an octave G. Any ideas? I am willing to try a synthetic (nylgut) string but I have found most of them to tinny for my liking.
