The Savarez web site is rather vague about the density of these strings
(the KF "multi-coated" strings from .95mm onwards) and even implies that
the density is about the same as gut. But my experience has been that
they are more dense than gut, a good approximation being to use a
diameter about 10% less than you would use with gut. I have found they
work quite well - on my 6c lute at the moment I have a 5th course of
.95mm and a 6th of 1.25mm (both octaved).

Is there a Savarez dealer in the USA? I am looking to try the Alliance KF
strings on a renaissance lute (unless members of this newsgroup warn me not
to..) And how do I calculate thicknesses to order?Thanks, trj
