  • 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.

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

    Compare...

  • wow pig was used as condom holy shit lol, So gut strings sounds more better than synthetic ??

  • What string manufacturer is shown here?

  • the girl's bow looks too tight

  • 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!
