[BAROQUE-LUTE] Re: Baroque Lute Stringing

Hi Ed, I was only talking about KF strings. I imagine it would be impossible with any kind of gut string, and of course there is no evidence for it in paintings. I guess (and it is only a guess) that the original gut strings would have been quite flexible (and thin) and there would be no
