Lutes
Due to the large number of lute types, their various tunings and scales, and not least because of the range of string material available today, you will not find any strings or string recommendations explicitly designated for the lute and its related instruments here. Rather, the following selection of links will take you to the corresponding categories of strings which are suitable for the lute and which you can put together according to your wishes. You can also choose these categories using the menu option -Single Strings-.
