Would dipping well seasoned veteran NngA strings freshen them up? A I'm
thinking of trying this but if it'd be more likely to kill them I think
I'll pass

Dear all,
I alredy posted the solution three months ago. Mimmo Peruffo
suggests to dip the string(s) in boiling water for 20 seconds (it
worked for me at least).
Best wishes,
Paolo Busato lute-maker

A Subject: [LUTE] Aquila Nylgut Problems
A Dear collected lute list wisdom,
A I just tried to switch my (late) medieval lute from
A all gut to all nylgut, everything fine, except: the top
A strings (63cm / g' @ 440 Hz - using 0.42mm) can't be put up to
full
A tension.
A Both strings imediately break directly at the bridge. Strangely
A the aren't even close to their breaking point (at least they
still
A feel quite elsatic). Bridge design can't be the problem - the
A bridge is rather soft and well worn out (and I never had a broken
A top at the bridge, even in much thinner gut).
A Is this a known problem. Did I get samples from a bad batch?
A TIA Ralf Mattes
A P.S.: off course this always happens the day before an important
A rehearsal ...
