Dear Lutenists,
If the production of gut is going to be banned within the EU, this must be
for a particular reason. Thus, it would make sense to find out from the
European Commission what the situation is re. the production of gut and the
reasons for prohibiting it. If we have found out the

Dear List,
as Mimmo explains in a video (unfortunately in Italian) on his

beef gut, because sheep gut is available only in limited amounts and would
not be enough for a sustained production. Beside this he says that to use
sheep gut doubles the production time. The use of sheep gut would result

We still use gut in the operating room, usually following treatment
with chromic to slow the absorption by the body. I use chromic gut
all the time. Mind you, I'm already banned from donating blood in the
