Hello there, Aquila has new (I don't know how new) synthetic fret gut available on their website.
[1]http://aquilacorde.com/old/early-music-strings/early-music-products/ 135/frets-gut-tailpieces/?lang=en The cost is almost half price from real fret gut and I wonder if anybody here on the list has used them yet and would be willing to share his/her appreciation. Thank you very much, Jürgen ---------------------------------- "Close your eyes. Fall in love. Stay there."
