Hi Hector, Good to meet you again at Gijon - I hope you had a pleasant trip home.
You could also try Savarez KF strings. They're more dense than gut, so you would need KF95A for the 6th course and KF105A for the 7th. They work well on renaissance lute, should work fine on 85cm!

Dear all, A quick question. Any experience with the New Nylgut NNG and NGE as basses on a 85cm theorbo? I'm just thinking of stinging the short neck all with Nylgut. Currently I have Nylgut in the a-e-b-g and d (from the top), and I just wonder if the NGE will work for the A and G as well. Otherwise I'll get the Type D string, or something else. Arto's calculator suggests a 104 for the A and a 116 for the G (3.5kg). Many thanks in advance, Hector To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
