Thank you Jeff for sharing. I wonder is there a noticeable difference in tone between nylon and gut? I would assume gut is expensive.

Correction: make that two octaves of gut strings, one and a half octave of nylon.  Goes from C 2nd below middle C to G  above C two up from middle C.

You might be interested to note that some harps and harp makers are still designing with and for gut strings.  My Lyon & Healy Silhouette (33 string solid bodied electric lever harp, very modern instrument) has one octave of bronze wound strings, three octaves of gut strings, and one octave of nylon strings.

Thank you G. S. Monroe for replying. I gave it a try awhile back. I guess now being so use to the wound g string, I found the unwound g a little strange. I thought it was interesting to bring up because from time to time you hear a reference to it. I often wondered how 1920/30s strings would compare to today's manufacturing standards. Enjoy.

On the topic of "G" strings, I don't use the standard guitar "G"'s, I prefer to use #12 piano wire, .023 dia solid wire for my bass string. Yes it does produce a different tone from the .023w. The tone, and vibe is more like that of an old upright bass fiddle than a bass guitar in nature. It does lose a bit of resonance down in the frets near the base of the neck, but the real advantage comes out with using a slide. Your standard "windings" can produce a somewhat raspy sound when sliding down the neck. With smooth solid wire, you don't get that "growl", the tone is more silky.

Yes, it was bad wording on my part. I clarify this in Episode 2 when I explain how to create the major scale out of the chromatic scale. Thank you Sounds of the Nation for your response. Enjoy.
