Yes but it is very difficult to tie them on, they don't bend so Well and especially when you want to cut the end with an open flame, it could be very dangerous for your lute!( you better use other devices like a soldering iron). At the other hand it's very logical to use the same material as that of your strings, as you say it doesn't wear out like gut frets. Greet
