his voice beats the sound of the violone.

Why isn't this used in orchestras?

[renzolikescheez]

because it wasnt in the time of orchestras. It was in the time of Shakespeare.

I realise I said the wrong thing when I said "loosely coiled" I did mean that the frequency of the windings was fairly low. I wouldn't know much about it myself, I was just told by my teacher. He was probably warning me, especially considering how inexperienced I am compared to him.

I'm still not sure about the quality of sound they produce, I considering buying one to replace an aluminium c-string. What difference do they make in general?

I'm currently writing for this instrument.

there is a type of gut string called an "open wound gut string". It's a typical gut string with a very loosely coiled metal wire wound around it, which can slice flesh if you slide on the string...... kinda puts me off buying one for my gamba...

Is the bow-hold still referred to as Dragonetti, even though the term would be somewhat anachronistic? (Domenico Dragonetti, 1763-1846)

[arifreeman]

No, it has lots of tension but not quite that much.
