Dear All,
My experiences with Sofracob gut are much the same as David's - fine for
everything except a top string. I recently tried to order some fret gut
from them and they wrote back to say that they no longer supply fret gut
- dommage! Anyone know of a good source of fret gut?

Glad to see you are back, Martin (perhaps you weren't away).
The Purr'll strings are strong, but how do they sound?

Dear Martin,
Best wishes to you... we have not corresponded for a while.
I wholeheartedly agree on your statement about different string types
requiring a different technique or playing style. I have not played wound
strings in many years, but when I do play someone else's lute with wound
Dear Martyn
I don't know whether they are similar to Aquila Venice which
are a twine of two elements, and not a tress of three like Pistoys.
This according to Mimmo Perfuffo results in a more flexible string;
but I suppose flexibilty may not be everything.
I found the Venice very
Many thanks for this Anthony.
My main motive for asking was the increasing cost of gut (especially fret gut
oddly enough) and Universale's prices seemed very competitive - hence if their
quality was OK then I'd order from them rather than MP or Sofracob or Kurschner
or others. In

I just had a thought. If price is your main concern, for whatever
reason, you could look at Banjo strings. Martin Shepherd, I think,
told me he sometimes uses Purr'll Gut Strings for his top string.
Their prices look very cheap, but I don't know about the quality.

Toyohiko gave me a .40 Universale string, but I have not yet tried it. He
told me they are made from beef, and they are incredibly strong long
lasting. He uses them as trebles. I was unaware that some were made from
