Hi,
Just wondering if anybody had found a good way to take the worst of the
boom and everlasting sustain out of overwound basses? Loaded gut is
'way beyond my budget, so anything that would make, say, Kuerschner or
Pyramid basses a bit tamer would be helpful.
I have heard

Bill,
Get a piece of soft yarn or a strip of felt and weave this through the
offending strings at the bridge. Experiment until you have the desired
damping. This how
I have heard that some people put a small piece of masking tape around the
string near the bridge.

Why don't you give Aquila NGE a try? They are pure nylgut, long-lasting, very
very budget-minded prices,
and sound... my brazilian coleagues say ... almost like pure gut!
I can send you some to try out if you'd like to. Write me off-list at

Dear lutenists,
I perhaps should not shamelessly self promote(?), but this kind of
mails are anyhow so easily deleted... ;-)
So, I am still advertising the lute music after Dowland and before
Weiss. There is lots of that!!
Now I have a tiny project of getting to know the Austrian (=Imperial)
Dear Bill and the List,
I recommend Mimmo's Aquila's D's to the basses, for which there still
are no NNG's/NGE's. Wound on NNG, I guess. But much, very much better
than the old Pyramid type wound strings. And if I have understood it
right, Mimmo is developing a better solution: loaded
Another alternative: I recently strung one of my 10-courses in synthetics,
using the New Nylgut as far as it would go and Savarez KF's for the basses.
I think the two makes of strings blend very nicely together, and I am much
more pleased than I expected to be with the sound, having used gut
And Bill, I actually just replaced the old, very old - 1980's! -
Pyramid basses of my 10-courser to Aquila's D's. Great improvement!
Some examples of those D's (and also mainly NNG's):
Entree de Luth - Branle de Village 1 - Branle de Village 3.
Yes that's what Mimmo Peruffo told us during his conference about strings at
the Cordefactum festival last weekend here in Belgium. He also confirmed
he'll start again to produce gut strings probably in June.

Dear B-Luters,
I juste wanted to let you know that I put up a recording on my website,
under the page De Jonge Meesters. It is of a concert I did last of Bach
and Handel. The Handel pieces are from the My Lord Danby Ms. And the
Bach is my own intabulation of BWV 821, an early work.
