Dear Ed, Anthony
I indeed played all the time on kurschner wound
strings (synthetic) and felt they were the bes for me.
But now I do have the gut strung baroque lute which is
wonderful and Aquila Gut is very good. The basses I
have are Demi File and I still feel I would like to
try something else as well.
I remember once using kurschner Gut wound strings and
the were very close to the synthetic ones in sound.
That is true that kurschner is very close.
The problem is I would not like to mix gut and nylon
floss since it is hard to tune and they react to
temperature in totally different way.
Do you think 3 kilos tension is ok for the wound gut
basses? Or should it be less somehow?
Thanks for writing, Anton
