Has anyone ever done any acoustic (oscilloscopic?) tests to determine just what
makes different string materials sound different? I.e., What is the overtone
profile for the materials?

Has anyone come up with a technique to increase the life of gut trebles?
(besides switching to synthetics!) I get stray fibers very shortly after
installing one—still playable but the tone and intonation suffer.
Thanks!

On occasion the topic of authentic pitch arises: to what G, e.g.,
was a lute tuned? Thre's that old dictum of tuning the treble to just
before it breaks. So--my question is: What is the breaking pitch
(frequency) of gut?
Regards,
Leonard Williams
