David--
First--I'm not trying to sell nylgut or any other material--just trying to sort
out some parameters and effects.
You wrote "For me it is a 'dead' string.."
When I first got my lute, strung in nylgut, I thought it sounded a bit on the dead
side. However, when I retuned in meantone, it woke right up! So--does gut perhaps
have a "broader bandwidth" of sympathetic vibration such that it naturally sounds
better in any particular tuning mode? Or perhaps my idea of undead is not what it
should/could be?
I've stayed away from gut because the area where I live is subject to large variations
in humidity, and I wanted to spare myself excessive tuning. Nylgut seems to do the
trick for me.
Regards,
Leonard
