Cap't Bob Help: Gut Strings for Violins (10) RE: Help: Gut Strings for Violins 12 Mar 02

Thanks for the tip I think I'll give them a try. My fingers don't sweat all that much so maybe I'll stay in tune.

I did use gut strings on my first fiddle (way back in the 40's) about the time nylon was coming out for the ukulele. It seemed that around that same time fiddle strings switched over almost entirely to metal. I haven't used gut strings on the fiddle for around 50 years now but if I remember correctly I liked the sound of the gut better as it was more mellow.
