Hello Ed
Well that is very nice to know, considering the jump in price.
Perhaps the main difference might be between the slightly different
treatments of each string maker (twist etc), more than the difference
in gut material. I imagine the difference in metal type (silver/copper)
on a gimped string might be greater than a beef/sheep difference?
Best regards
Anthony

Hi Anthony,
I think the sound is very close, it is difficult
for me to tell the difference. If there is any
difference in sound, I think the beef gut might
be a little louder, but that is subjective.
