Thank you for the suggestion Arto. Unfortunately i cannot do it I already image how confuse the thing will be with the customers. This mean the eford to mannage twice products and honestly I do not like to add cofusion in the factory and with customers already stressed by me!

[BAROQUE-LUTE] Re: Baroque Lute Stringing

Dear Mimmo, if you decide to make the loaded nylgut strings (CD) less elastic, I hope (and wish and urge ;-) ) that you keep also the original elastic version in your repertoire! They work exceptionally well on my Harz arclute, great stuff. And big thanks for your invaluable work! Arto On

Thanks for the clarification Mimmo. Unfortunately I'm playing in a concert on Saturday. The mandolin meeting looks very interesting and I'd have liked to have attended that too! regards Martyn __ From:

[BAROQUE-LUTE] Re: Baroque Lute Stringing

Thanks Martyn, I mean more predominant fundamental and less sustain, more percussive . Bacon is interesting here, By the way, I am leaving Italy to,London royal,college .,there is a meeting about mandolin this Saturday Any chance to,meet,you? Mimmo > Il giorno 02 feb 2017, alle ore 11:53,

Excellent! I am looking forward to it. Please, let us know when they are ready. Good luck :) Jaroslaw > On 02 Feb 2017, at 13:03, Mimmo Peruffo wrote: > > Well, seeing this post I have the idea to switch to these stiffer ones. at > the end of the day they are closer

[BAROQUE-LUTE] Re: Baroque Lute Stringing

Well, seeing this post I have the idea to switch to these stiffer ones. at the end of the day they are closer to those loaded strings made of gut. I will do some samples in advance. Mimmo ps: long diapason: I have not in aim to do them for very long diapasons such as chitarrrone. The

[BAROQUE-LUTE] Re : [BAROQUE-LUTE] Baroque Lute Stringing

Presumably FB was talking of dark diapasons and not bass courses diapasons with their octaves? Modern wire wounds are very bright and there is little need for strong octaves. Personally when using Venice gut loaded that were quite flexible and dark, I moved to higher tension Venice

[BAROQUE-LUTE] Re: Baroque Lute Stringing

Dear Mimmo, Thank you for your continuing efforts in manufacturing these strings. I agree with much of what has been said: - especially with Martin Shepherd about the unfortunate influence rose pluckers have had on stringing often leading to high tensions of overwound strings in the

[BAROQUE-LUTE] Re: Baroque Lute Stringing

No problem at all, they could be darker (even better!). Anyway it’s quite a good idea IMHO. If some like overwounds they can always use just…ocerwounds;) I really can’t see any point in imitating overwounds. Please let us know if you make a new stiffer batch. JL > On 02 Feb 2017, at 10:53,

[BAROQUE-LUTE] Re: Baroque Lute Stringing

Mimmo again; the Gualtier tbel hs a diffrent interpretation that those relate to gauges or gut ribbons. I will do a article in matter in the next future. I am going to believe that maybe is better to switch to another elastomer whose elasticity is less. I have have already done some tests and

[BAROQUE-LUTE] Re: Baroque Lute Stringing

Well, Tony Bailes mailed me that: Writing in 1629 Francis Bacon stresses that low strings should produce a bass sound: “for we see, that in one of the lower strings of a lute, there soundeth not the sound of the treble, nor any mixt sound , but onely the sound of the base.” Mimmo ps: I can

[BAROQUE-LUTE] Re: Baroque Lute Stringing

Dear Mimmo, Firstly I’d like to congratulate you for inventing a new type of bass strings, as those of us who would like to use plastic equivalent of gut had very little choice until now. Your CD strings sound nice with quite solid fundamental. The only problem that I found disturbing is their

[BAROQUE-LUTE] Re: Baroque Lute Stringing

Dear All, If we're really interested in how lutes might have been strung historically, I think it's important to take the historical evidence (very little of it, I know) as a starting point, rather than the habits of modern players using modern strings. We have a lot of iconographic

[BAROQUE-LUTE] Re: Baroque Lute Stringing

Dear Mimmo, Thank you for this information. I'm glad all the gauges of the new loaded nylgut strings will be available again soon. Your suggestion to compensate for the extra amplitude by using higher tension makes sense but will you be making gauges above 2.2 for the 13th course of a baroque
