It's much less dense than Fluorocarbon.
And only a little less dense than actual gut or nylgut. You will end up
with similar, just a bit thicker diameters than those.
Careful: They take a long time to settle (more than a week).

So...is nylon more or less dense than fluorocarbon? I've never used
nylon on a lute, only nylgut and PVF.
Thanks!

Very cool discovery! Thanks. Could it be some form of the stuff
referred to as "Carbon" or "Flourocarbon"- the KF (in gauges up
to.91) made by Savarez?

Hello Lutist "cheapskates",
I just got the information from the factory who produce KastKing
Durablend fishing line (available in 0.4-1.4mm) - specific weight is
1150 kg/m ³ so it's a bit more dense than usual Nylon.
So if there's anyone out there needing a cheap string replacement
and don't like the Flourocarbon stuff, buy those-
It's quite transparent though, but has a nice sound. Ask for sound
samples if you're interested.
Cheers,
