A network for historic guitars and vihuelas
I am having a Baroque guitar built by an excellent luthier of bowed instruments as well as a few medieval string instruments (citole, harp, lute), but mine will be his first Baroque guitar. It will have a 64cm scale and be patterned after one of the surviving Stradivaris (but not the Sabionari).
I am wondering what string spacings at nut and bridge are favored by players and builders here. Also the string height at the bridge, and the gauge of the gut frets. I plan to string it with Nylgut.
Thanks for any ideas you can share!

I wouldn't use nylgut if I were you. I'd use plain gut.
Hello, I have a baroque guitar whose frets are plain gut. I wonder what happens if I use nylgut instead...
How would it affect the result?
Gut for ever !
