<p> Thanks. I will not be using gut strings until I'm fairly comfortable with the lute. Right now, I'm using LaBella TL8CRS#1's. I'm finding the basses a little floppy. I wouldn't mind a bit heavier gauge. If you can recommend something in nylon gut, I'd be grateful. _Fernando.</p>

<p>If you ever plan to use gut strings, be aware that the top string would not last long and you would need to tune in F rather than G to get useable string life.</p>

<p>HI, I play an 8c ren lute (made by Lars Jönsson, Stockholm) with string length 61 cm tuned at 440 Hz with Nylgut top string (0.42 mm).</p>
<p>I need the higher pitch because I play sometimes with recorders tuned at that pitch.</p>
<p>My lute would probably sound even better at 415 Hz.</p>
<p>So yuo can tune your 60 cm lute at either 440 or 415 Hz.</p>
