Aquila Genuine Gut strings?

Well, Ok I have a set and will reunite a 100 year old 2M to Gut strings. I'm wondering if I should use a D6 tuning.
 
Very interesting video.

Let us know how that goes. I'd love to know the results.

Mimmo- a few questions: what is the life span of gut strings? How often does the player need to change these?
 
a gut strings lifetime... who knows? it is hard to predict it. it is like your shoes, depend by a lot of things.
However in my experience the most critical string is always the 1st (of course). If can last 10 days or till some months.
In any case, despite the beautiful sound, the gut setup is very expenisve, strings has raf surfaces, they less stable to moisture changes and last a less.
We are luky to live in these times...
