I'm sorry Rob, I was not trying to draw you into a discussion about the use of strings. I merely wanted to know if you used a doubled first course. It is my understanding that the original instruments were made that way but many that play them today play them without the doubled first course. If you do use the doubled first I would be interested in how you find this different than playing with a single first course as would be common on the Lute.
