I got one of the red loaded Aquila strings (from Elderly) for my
baritone uke - sounds and feels very good.
It is long enough to fit on my ren lute and seems ok on 5th course

As far as I know Mimmo has completely stopped the production of loaded
gut
strings and no one knows if he will ever start it again. My impression
is
that the answer is no. I asked him many times to make the four basses
needed
for my 11c and the answer has always been negative. At the end Martin
managed to get 4 suitable old production loaded strings that I hope
will
last forever...
He was working on a sort of loaded and more elastic nylgut which should
sound like the loaded gut and be reliable enough to be mass produced.
Actually those kind of strings (red color too) are already available
for the
ukulele but till now there is no production in the gauges needed for
the
lute.
