I'm sorry
Hi Shaun, Hi Martyn,
unfortunately I cannot say too much on this topic, at least for the 17th
century.
For sure wound strings had been available in the 18th century.
At least Frank Legl has found some accounts around 1750 in Munich, where
there are mentioned halb umsponnene Saiten (= half

The 64 volumes were published between 1732 and 1754, vol. 33 describing interesting

as a kind of jewelery
Well, wouldn't this mean that every time we see a painting of an instrument

just gut or wound? It says something quite important, that metal strings on

When you write 'The better explanation for seemingly thin, coloured
strings on the basses of lutes...', what do you mean by
'better''?: - better in relation to the historical evidence (if so
precisely what)?; better for modern ears?; better for the cost?; better

Dear Martyn,
Thanks for these sources. I don't think they were making it up, but I do find
the Playford source questionable, being an advertisement. I know this sounds
nitpicky, but all it says is 'silver wire' on string is the new invention. It
doesn't say what came before. Kapsberger used a
