Many thinks that the 1st lute strings of the past were better: the only
source I know that testifies that is Baron (1727).
He wrote that there are instances were a roman 1st last

researches and tests. Go ahead guys.

I play an 8-course, 59 cm lute, nominally in G (A c. 430), with 0.42 mm
treble gut from Gamut. The strings may last a while, but fraying and the
resulting compromised tone can occur early on. In some cases I can turn the
(unshortened) string around and avoid bad patches near the nut
Hi Ed,
Happy New Year old friend, all the best to you and Colleen.
Nice to hear from you on this subject. I like Ed have played for many
years with gut, I have only been using nylgut in the las 4 years or so,
only because I now have so many lutes ( and I only have 8... don't know
Hello Leonard and others,
This is a topic of great interest to me, as I have played mostly gut strings
for 30 + years. There is nothing as beautiful as the sound of a gut strung lute
tuned well. Some have tried oils, resins, even crazy glue with mixed
effectiveness of making trebles last long.

Has anyone come up with a technique to increase the life of gut
trebles? (besides
The breaking point of gut is around 250 Hz/m (some string makers talk
from 240Hz/m - and Mimmo give the breaking point for his very strong
type at around 260 Hz/m).
So a lute with 50 cm has the breaking point at 500 Hz. If you want to
play - instead of changing strings - you have to tune
Sorry I clicked too fast before I had copied the message:
There is useful information at
http://www.aquilacorde.com/faqi.htm
However, I am not sure how to interpret the following :
Example: can I tune in A 440 a lute with a string length of 62cm?
.62 mt (62cm) x 440 (Hz) = 272.8 Hz.mt

Andreas and Anthony--
Thanks for the reference to the Aquilacorde site. I see he has lots
of useful bits of information there. Now I have something else to fiddle
with besides meantone frets and tastini!
