OK, you are the master, you know best. Perhaps you also declare as mere=20 nonsense the very "material" fact that Mimmo is actually able to make loa= ded=20 strings? I myself tried his latest batch (those that he recently develope= d)=20 at the Greenwich festival last year and they were really good sounding=20 strings, and not only in my opinion. Or maybe that was a dream ...?
To me I see no difference whether it is to do with heavy salts or fine me= tal=20 powders that get integrated into the fibre structure of the gut. And, as = you=20 may well understand, I'm not talking about any kind of chemical bond with= =20 the gut molecules as such here (neither was I in the previous posting)! Whether gut loading process was indeed part of historical practice is=20 totally different matter altogether and unless there is proper historical= =20 evidence in support ... we are all talking nonsense really.
