Subject: [LUTE] Silk strings?
Dear List,
I know this can sound like a totally silly question, but I was kind
of impressed by this article
([1]http://www.silkqin.com/03qobj/strings/raykovstrings.htm#europe),
while I was reading a few infos concerning the guqin instrument in
China.
Somebody who bravely tried silk strings on her/his lute?
What the guy writes on his web page seems to suggest that it has not
been impossible that the "old ones" tried silk strings on their
instruments...
Ciao,
Luca
