[BAROQUE-LUTE] New Nylgut strings

2010-12-08 Thread Edward Martin
Dear ones, I announced last night that I received a new set of nylgut for my 13-course baroque lute. I did put them on yesterday, and I let them set overnight. I already reported that the new color is very good, and the feel is very good, as well. Now that I can tune the new strings, I can
