Dan is in the UK at the moment, but I am unaware of any stoppage of
gut string making from his shop. He has 4 employees making gut

Dan does use beef gut for trebles, simply because they are better,
stronger, longer lasting.

Don't know how the relation is between Dan and mimmo, but wouldn't it be
possible to make the loaded gut strings in the USA by Gamutstrings using
the recipe of mimmo and pay a small fee to Aquila?
Unfortunately Gamutstrings stopped all work in this area, but I really
love this kind of strings. even -just as in the old times - they are
sometimes not quite well when new (for example in positions), aging etc.
But the tonequality is magnificent.
