Hello to all guys,
Two days ago I was able to do nylgut heavier
So I made am little batch of strings just for some tests
These samples are, at present, of graphite's grey colour ( due to the
metallic powder I used to charge Nylgut); however I will do some
changes in the colour.
A few observations:
1) a 1,14 mm diameter string is equivalent to a 1.36 gut string. This
mean that the loaded nylgut is virtually able to cover till the 6
course on renaissance lutes. Or on 6 & 7th fetted courses on long
theorboes ( that often need wound strings). I tried the loaded nylgut
like classical guitar 3rd with good results. I wonder how they work on
the 13 till 14th long theorbo diapasons
My job is not at the end: I still need to change some extruder's
paramethers just to obtain the best performances. If things will work
in the proper way maybe there is , soon, a new alternative to
fluorocarbon and wound strings for the 4, 5 6th courses, lond
diapasons etc.
My best regards
Mimmo Peruffo
