Yes, but... There is only one thing we know for sure about gut strings in the past: our gut is _not_ "their gut." (i.e. the exact same type of string that was made back in the day.) Therefore, whatever you decide to use nowadays is "synthetic." Modern gut is just one viable option among others. Chris __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
