Garbos

hi no, they are better in my opinion. I suggest you check velvetstrings.com or the many threads here about them. they are fine gut wrapped in sillk and then covered in metal (except the G)

Andrew, you should read there too.
There's no gut in the Velvets. Only natural fibres.
http://www.velvetstrings.com/eng/prodotti.htm
Quote:
Garbo, Anima, Compas 360 and Compas 180 constructed around a core of natural fibres, produce a sound (and feel to the player) which cannot be distinguished from pure gut strings. Windings, whether with copper or a synthetic material, reinforce the strings' warmth and richness of tone. Each type of string offers unique characteristics, providing an attractive solution for most playing applications.
