As you probably know, I advocate gut. But, for nylgut lovers, this is a new,
improved version.
It seems to me the new Emperor's clothes have the colour of gut. ;-)

Dear All,
I have been using these KF strings for some years. The smallest
diameter is .95mm, but this is the equivalent of a gut string of about
1.07mm. The one I use is KF95A, but I think the A just refers to
the fact that it is a 2m length. It works well as a 5th course on a
renaissance

Thank you for this Martin and Anthony. These strings are interesting as
a further alternative to loaded, wire wound and the 'spring' string;
especially for those with a large number of instruments to string.
I looked into these Saverez KF strings some time ago (are you sure
I have used these Savarez KF strings on harps for some time now. I
understood the original post to be about some newer version.
I ave no way to ferret the truth out of Savarez's promo material. I
don;t know if they discovered the formula in a cave or have found some
suitable type
Sounds suspiciously similar to KFG. (So-called Karbon FIbre Gut?) I
have been using them in some applications for years, and in fact the
thinnest is .95 mm and I have used them on C-5 in the past, feels
equivalent to 1.04 to me, very close to Martins's. Perfectly
satisfactory as unisons,
Hi,
I have uploaded a short, but very nice lute duet for 2 lutes ad Quartam.

here is my newest list at mediafire:
2 Lutes (10-chors)
Used those for years - they last forever... Never noticed any
inconsistencies in diameters, neither any falsinesses in tuning. The very
thick ones doesn't sound good, though, in the for lute acceptable
tensions... No sharp starting tone like gut, lazyness in gaining the
volume, no click there in
I like them, too. In unisono on the 4th and 5th course on my renaissance
lute.

P.s. and if I remembered right in chemical analysis I found

Dear Martyn and Martin
It is true that Carlos' original message was slightly ambiguous,
but I have asked him to clarify this question, and he tells me that
between KFN33 et KFN91 the strings are still simplex monofilament, it
is only below the diameter of 0,95mm (KFN95) that
12 matches
