Only expensive strings are still made out of gut. Cheap strings are made of steel. But gut strings really do sound way better.
Compare...

For lutes they've started using guts from cattle in addition to the goats and sheep currently utilized. Expensive, as usual, for gut strings, but they've a durability not found in the other. I've a string box that's as valuable as the instruments, and could easily go broke trying to keep my Theorbo in guts. They are worth every penny!
You sir, are fucking crazy, lmao.
The lambs were killed to eat, not for strings; the string makers ordered the guts from the butcher before they threw them a way. You would know this, if you actually watched the fucking video before you commented.
Unless you're a vegan and dislike the fact that lambs are killed regardless if they're guts are used for strings or not... in which case you're fucking TWICE as crazy and I hope you die of Salmonella from a bad tomato.

it's amazing that a violin sound is produced by a horse hair rubbing against a lamb intestine on top of a piece of tree.
