I use the 20lb test for the chanterelle of my 8c Renaissance lute (600mm). It works great as well. I have found plenty of inexpensive replacements for other strings too, among fishing lines and guitar strings if you do a little calculating and choose conservatively. -----Original Message----- From: [2]lute-...@cs.dartmouth.edu [[3]mailto:lute-...@cs.dartmouth.edu] On Beha lf Of Wim Loos Sent: Saturday, January 12, 2019 2:09 PM To: LuteNet list [4]<lute@cs.dartmouth.edu> Subject: [LUTE] Chanterelle Dear all, I ôm looking to string my 7c renaissance lute, string length 60cm (aA5) again. In this moment I use nylgut and pyramid wound strings. Only the chanterelle is nylon while the nylgut string was broken. I considder to use carbon for the chanterelle, does anybody know if is this a good alternative. I hope jou can give me a advise what to do.
