This is not necessarily so. Many gut players and I can attest that we have been in situations where gut is more stable than synthetics. In many concerts, I have performed with my renaissance duet partner where I was in gut, he was in synthetics, where he was tuning so frequently, could not get it right, and I did not have to touch a peg. The new gut strings are so much better than a few years ago. The processing changes, by some string makers, have stabilized the pitch problem.
