Do sweaters lose their color when put in a dark closet, as a ticking watch
makes no sound when put in an airless container?

Huh? Folks, sound and vibration are one and the same. If the string can
be seen to be vibrating and you can't hear it, it is either a problem
with your hearing (which to be sure comes naturally with our advancing
age), or there is sufficient ambient noise in the room or other notes
"...and my guess is that these strings may last forever.."
While no doubt true, and good thing as well, ALL unfingered lute bass
strings last virtually forever! My Baroque lute student has had the
original (and unspeakably vile) metal overspun strings on his otherwise
very fine 13
Dear Mimmo
Don,t worry, I think we all appreciate your efforts, and are all
excited about the new strings. Yes it has started another debate on
strings and sound quality, vibration , resonnance, etc.. what it boils
down to however , is what kind of sound pleases each of us
maybe it is better to give you guys a few more informations:
yes, I am out of stock due to some problems: the first one is that the
plastic blend nd copper powder changes some behaviours. This is common
when one exstrude plastics. I worked hard to understand why in these
15 days
Dear all,
We have some gauges still on stock, but they are running fast. You can
also find everything on our store with 20% discount, so it's really a
nice chance to try them.

Mimmo is already part of the lute history, I dont have
David Morales' cuerdas Pulsadas in Spain, has them, David Morales who
is on this lute list should be able to help you out. Mimmo is out of
stock already.

Fascinating thread! I am delighted that after over 40 years in the lute

as an obtainable, affordable, predictable, and PRACTICAL reality. Mimmo
Peruffo is to be congratulated for all his work over all these years.
Now,
Jakob Lindberg's remarks about the wonderful sustain of his old
Rauwolf seems to confirm what you say (sustain, complexity and clarity,
together according to JL). Mersenne would certainly have heard
marvellous old Bologna lutes sought out by French luthenists, no doubt
exactly
I understand... this is the point: we scholars have done a long list of
conceptual and practical mistakes done by Mersenne in his book.
This mean that he must be taken with a grain of salt. Of course, he done a
great job with his monumental treatise and it is very usefull also.
I am a
Not sure about that Mimmo... Mersenne is a scientist, therefore a precise
observer and his observations are worth considering seriously. When he
describes the duration of the sound of the bass stings of a lute, he takes care
to precise ""...le son des grosses chordes de Luth est apperceu de

I am lucky: I have seen /installed strings on some hundreds od lutes in
these last years. Maybe I can be in mistake, but I have never seen a lute,
whose basses are roped strings or even loaded roped strings, whose sustain
is so long. Even with modern Pyramid nylon wound strings (they have
Differences in string length can obviously also account for considerable
variations in sustain.

Delighted to announce the launch of my Introduction to the Lute - for
Lute and Guitar players!

The book contains 31 great tunes, all in both guitar tab and lute
tablature, from easy to advanced, and sound files for every piece and
exercise.
One thing nobody seems to have mentioned is the vast differences in sustain
from one instrument to another. Maybe Mersenne's comments go to show just how
good some lutes were at the time. If one was to rest a lute on the edge of a
wooden table as they were wont to do at the time, then maybe
