Eugene now I use 0,5mm nylon fishing line as chantrelle on my lute (67mm) and it works well tuned in "g" (a=440)
And I used 0,6mm nylon line as first string on my 9str guitar in g-lute tuning and it worked well even being tuned one step up, to "a" with no problems at all. Here is my record on this guitar in g: [1]http://youtu.be/iGRkEhWCoLw David if you afraid of high tension on that old guitar just say to your friend to tune it lower and use capo on 3rd fret. Here is my 9str guitar with capo: [2]http://youtu.be/Dn1oLm_85VU 2011/12/15 Eugene C. Braig IV <[3][email protected]> A quick FYI: Standard, modern fishing line is monofilament nylon. However, fluorocarbon is also quite common as fishing line, considerably denser, and requires a resultantly lesser diameter at given pitch and scale than nylon. Do you know, t'other Eugene, if you were using nylon or fluorocarbon as a chanterelle? At what pitch (can we assume g')?
