Hi All, I've got exactly the same problem: same kind of lute, same tuning, same course, same string (which is actually a brand new one)... I wonder if this is not a string problem.

I have a tuning problem with my lute, which I don't know how to solve. I have got 8-course lute, G-tuning, 572 mm bridge to nut. My fifth course (C) consists of Nylgut 56 and wounded NG 112D (octave difference). After fine tuning the "untouched" course (both in tune, c+C), the problem appears when playing the course on 2nd, 3rd etc fret. The unwounded string remains in tune, but the wounded one gets out of tune (sounds significantly higher, than it should). Sliding the frets won't help, as the other strings are in tune. Could you please kindly advice? Many thanks. Kind regards, Ivo To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
