The best violinists rely on strings that are made from the guts of lambs that are no more than 4 months old at slaughter. Kinda makes you wonder how many vegans and animal rights wingnuts have given up playing and listening to orchestral and other music that relies on gut strings?

    • Well, THIS vegan gave up studying the violin because of the gut strings. Nowadays, there are humane (non-animal) substitutes, so there's no excuse.
