No. I started using them after using gimped basses with gut octaves, which had terrible intonation problems. Compared to them, the Aquila D strings are near perfect. Maybe you have been unlucky and the strings you have are not true, or maybe I've been lucky. When I mentioned on the Baroque Lute list that I was using them, some expressed surprise because they had intonation problems when using them. So, maybe there is a quality control issue...
