Lute Strings. Made by Roosebeck.

Throughout history lutes have typically had gut strings. Lute strings today, however, are nylon made with high precision instruments. The rectified nylon strings in the Roosebeck set are known for their warmer tone and lightly textured feel. The silverplated copper wound nylon bass strings also produce a very warm, classical tone. We recommend the traditional Renaissance tuning for this set. We also recommend this string set for the Descant Lute (LTD7L), but the tuning is one step higher, with the highest string being tuned to A.

This was a better quality than I expected. The sound is excellent and it plays easily. A great deal!

Pretty much the only option for lute strings. You have to buy the whole set because the high G strings is a lower gage than guitar strings, but this string breaks too easy. This last set came with the top string broken in the package. 2 pieces and too short to use. Waste of time and money. Poor quality overall.
