Very interesting Ed,
"I have been using beef gut. I cannot tell the difference in sound
and feel from sheep gut, " Ed
There has been discussion from time to time suggesting that beef gut
might sound brighter.
Can you confirm that even for trebles there is little or no difference?
Is the "intuneness" also about the same?
Regards
Anthony

Very old news, but of corse, Dan lives just one block from me, so I
often hear interesting tidbits about the business of gut.
Your Pistoy is1.84? Child's play, as the Pitoy for my 11-th course
on my 11-course lute is a 2.02. Great sting, I may add!
Lately, out of not purely economical reasons, I have been using beef
gut. I cannot tell the difference in sound and feel from sheep gut,
but they are cheaper, and last a lot longer.
My 2 hank's worth!
