it's a recurring nighmare/fantasy of mine that i stumble into a huntin'fishin'-type shop with only a few pennies in my pocket, trying to replace a busted string on my charango - my only means of support.
i don't know what sort of lute you have or if the following has any relevance ... but in the treble range of the charango (apropos fishing line) here are the diameters listed: E 0.4 mm 0.016 inch A 0.6mm 0.024 inch E 0.7 mm 0.028 inch e 0.4 mm C 0.5 mm 0.02 inch G 0.7 mm E 0.4mm A 1st string of a guitar E 2nd string of a guitar e 0.4 mm C 0.5mm G 1st string of a guitar ping - bill --- Charles Browne <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dear colleagues, > I have three carbon strings, at least I had three, > marked No.6, No.8 and No, > 10.
