Greetings Belinda,
We sell a complete line of HG gut strings and keep most in stock.
They are manufactured in the USA and are of very good quality.
You may find sets here on one of our web pages:

I haven't tried Mel's strings, but if he carries them, I'd trust them.
For some years now I've been happy with gut strings from Dan Larson in
Minnesota: http://gamutmusic.squarespace.com/. Depending on the
mission and diameter, I've used treble gut, Lyon gut and Pistoy gut,
though the last takes a little extra effort to keep the cotton on. If
like my brother-in-law you just automatically recotton every time the
instrument comes out of the case, this won't bother you. The one
exception is for the high d chanter on both my instrument and my wife's,
a Neil Brook "Wonder String" lives up to its billing altogether. Mine
had always been fussy about strings up there and had worked best with
gut strings of smaller than normal diameter, which tended to have short
lives. Hers had just been impossible. This string solved the problems
with both.
