Dear All, I have been considering changing out the metal overspun bass octaves on courses 5 and 6 of my six course lute with Nylgut. Currently the rest of the strings are Nylgut except the chantarelle which is carbon because Nylgut keeps breaking at that tension.
What is the general advice from you folks. I'm thinking of this more from a sound persepective rather than a musical period (i.e. playing late 16th c. vs. Medieval music) perspective. I'm curious about the difference in sound quality as well as the historicity of doing this.
