Dear Anthony,
I think you'll find the bass register below the 7th course more
problematical than the treble. Not only the sound quality of the
thick-gut
fundamentals, gimped or otherwise, but also the intonation compared
to the
octave neighbours.
Satoh appears to have found quite a good compromise. Unless I am
mistaken, he appears to have adopted the Dutch/English/French? 12c
Lute, to partly get round this problem. On this, the 12c and 11c, on
the second neck, are quite long, while the other strings are somewhat
shorter, thus allowing
of tuning upon arrival. It seems to protect not just the strings, but
also the
lute from long exposure to heating and humidity changes.
