that's amazing- HIP concerns mattering as lately as the 1920's. I had
a customer at the music store yesterday looking for HIP Beethoven; we
didn't have anything on hand but at least the Busch Quartet had a
sound that seemed closer, but I don't know the details of their
equipment.
I
significantly better.

I learned 40 years ago that the violin is the instrument of the devil,
because everything is so awfully difficult... no mentioning that there
might be other instruments in this class...

Dan,
Are synthetic strings close to the sound of old guts? Dunno. Are
modern guts any closer? Dunno.
Let's call the whole thing off.

It's a shame that this point has to be re-made whenever the moral and
aural superiority of gut strings and those who use them are trumpeted
(sackbutted?) on this list. Let the research and experimentation
continue. But, and I emphasize this for lurkers and shy beginners
alike, there
I'll second that!

I have followed this thread with great interest. As most of you
know, I have been a user of gut for many years, and I love the
sound. Admittedly, I also use synthetics on some instruments.
Danny is quite correct, in that we purists should not in any way
dissuade people to play in synthetics.
Agree completely. Never meant to sound like the HIP fuzz, and as I
mentioned earlier, only two of my instruments are gutted. And as
Chris Wilke observed, it's modern gut- how close the the real deal is
at least somewhat speculative.
Dan - Off to work now.
