Not sure about that Mimmo... Mersenne is a scientist, therefore a precise

So what are we to make of this? The movement in the last decade has been to
minimise the sustain as long as possible. I'm completely on board with this.
But if we are to take Mersenne at face value, we have been moving in the wrong
direction - we should be at least doubling the sustain time.

No contest-I use and love the Savarez (on my 8-course) not just because

Dear Ralf,
I had the same experience and snapped two .42's learning that New Nylgut won't
always replace the old Nylgut of the same diameter (the second course did
fine). My only difference being that my mensur is 60cm. I ordered .39 NNG and
that solved it. I only use nng for the 1st course,
I've had similar problems with my 67cm lute tuned to f' (440). The
string lasted a few days then snapped - this happened a couple
of times. I'm now using nylon for my first course.

Odd. I've been using the new Nylgut on several instruments and don't have that
issue. Where fixed to hitch pins, I do have to be very careful of the knot I
use because the stuff is prone to break at nicks or under tension at kinks.
