And another question for the collective- Has anyone tried the Aquila type DE copper overspun lute strings? They are supposed to be closer in sound to the loaded gut basses than the regular type D, but it seems that I cannot get them in the USA- would have to negotiate directly with Mimmo, at Aquila's home base. Any critiques of these strings, and other sources for them, would be appreciated- I want to try them on my small archlute, currently in Type D from 6th to 14 courses. Not bad, but I prefer gutsier things.
Once again, thanks to all. Dan -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
