I used them on the 4th and since some time on the 5th course in unisono (wounded copper before, terrible!), on the 6th and 7th as octaves and i am very pleased. W.

I changed my nylgut set for carbon but I'm experiencing some troubles with the second course. Sometimes when I play, both strings get too close on the fingerboard, resulting in a bad tone. The first and second courses are very thin, 0.37 and 0.41respectively, my lute has 59 cm of string lenght. Is it OK for the first course to be a little over 4 kg? Is there anything to help to get a better grip on the string since carbon has a very smooth surface?
