Even as a harpist where we deal with 19~35 gut strings Imma speak for us in case anyone is interested Yes they do go out of tune more often due to it being more flexible and stretchy compared to nylon and wire strings. As well for us yes, gut strings last way less compared to nylon strings and our wire strings last so long, it's just all the mechanics that it interacts with, the pedal discs and stuff. They just last not as long for us Interesting differences for the strings despite the material being the same, cool video!

Thank you! I think the continuous mechanical stress from the pedals and levers generates the wear and tear on harp strings, as you say. Luckily, that doesn't happen too much to us.

Any recommendations on a LOW tension period accurate low E? I found a pirastro chorda as a period accurate silver wrapped low E, but it has 73 lbs of tension on it! I’m looking for a low E with 45 lbs of tension or less. Currently I’m using a plain gut E. I ordered an evah slap low E because of the tension sits at 45 lbs, yet it’s synthetic gut, which makes me sad. I’m excited to hear your thoughts!

I use Tempera strings (synthetic) for the E, so I can't really give you an advice. However, there is plenty of brands producing historical strings. I personally use Toro and Gamut.

Great video!!! I was wondering what your opinion on using an unwound E and A is. Are the E and A on your bass in this video unwound? Right now I’m using a gut d and g and a Corelli 370m E and A. Also I’m so happy I found your video, because people all over the internet say gut has a darker tone, yet I find it to be throaty, punchy, growlier, and brighter than steel. Sounds great under the bow too. Let me know!!

It's often about finding the right acoustic to show off the bass - this is pretty darn good, just a little natural reverb (not swamping the sound) What microphone did you use? Or was this shot on a phone or something? I think playing solo with gut strings is something that is very trickey to get right.
