Hey Lucky/ Rommel...
I just noticed something weird. Maybe it will fix itself by the time you look at it, but this video

-it clearly has 10 votes, but the vote count is stuck at nine, so it is stuck in unsiftedland. Wondered if you knew how to fix this bug. Thank you in advance, of course. -Issy


-edit- Nevermind. It seems to be just fine now. Thanks again!

Real gut strings look a lot like steel strings. You wind them onto string instruments the same either way. You would notice a big difference in the sound/feel if you played a steel-stringed violin and gut-stringed violin comparatively. I own two violins... my nicer one has gut strings and has a softer feel on the fingers, as well as a different acoustic sound quality... less tinny, I guess you could say. Oh, also the e string on the violin is always a steel string. I don't really know why though. Maybe it's not possible to create a gut string in that high pitch range... I dunno!

Issy, do real gut strings not have the little balls at the end and the wrapped part on the other? Do real gut string users have to tie them onto the tailpiece?

This explains why gut-strings are so expensive. I had no idea the intensive labor and skill involved in creating these.

Good choice! You are so kind. Thank you for the promote.

Hello!

LOL, Deano! I believe they would wear down normally from trotting around outside. I know I've found their nails to kind of shed when I find the outer layers of them all around on the floors when I clean around the house. Lately, I've been falling behind on keeping their claws trimmed. It's one of those things I don't think about until Issy is kneading away on my lap, stabbing me with sharp razor claw-prints!

In reply to this comment by Deano:
This does beg the question of how they cope without us. If they weren't domesticated what would happen to their nails?

Hi jan.
I noticed you submitted a cool surfing vid. Don't forget to vote for your own video.

I sailed along the whole island once after visiting it in 2005. It was truly incredible. Remember when Maximus and all of the other gladiators get out of the cart in Gladiator and see the coliseum? It was like that.
