I wholeheartedly agree. The same is true for the baroque guitar. Away
with all these synthetics.

Dear lutenists,
the difference of touch between those two approachs of stringing seems to
be a tricky business! I had (still have!;-) problems after years of
synthetics in starting with gut strings, but after getting some
preliminary
touch to gut strings, playing the synthetics with acceptable sound feels
even more difficult than the move from synthetics to gut!
Any advice? Any advice other than "stay in gut/synthetics"?

PS A little similiar problem arises, when you switch between single string
theorbo and double course lute...
