Like some of the rest of us, I've been following the double-track path of getting the best gut strings possible, completing the path of exploration that's part of the whole raison d'etre of luting in the first place, and getting best sounding, (usually gut-like) synthetics as possible for all the obvious reasons of durability and stability. One of the many controversies that make lute life interesting; and always a winner for starting a fight down at the Lute Bar on a dull evening. And don't even get Vinnie Galilei started on tastini.
