No, I think we (?) are talking aout the demi-filé (thank you, Greet) strings Mimmo is making. Gut core, very open winding on top of that. Kürschner and Larson make a different kind of gut + metal strings. Kürschner half embeds the metal within the gut, Larson completely. The feel of each of these strings is quite different. From much metal (Perufo), to a bit of metal (Kürschner) to no metal (Larson). David To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
