Specifically, I wanted something for both playing and recording that reveals the maximum separation in the individual polyphonic parts, with tone and transparency.
I had the spacing at both nut and bridge widened on my g' lute some years ago, on Pat O'Brien's recommendation, and it certainly makes it much easier to play polyphony cleanly. It increases the stretch, but my hands are large, so that's not a problem.
