I wanted to explain to lutenists why they should use gut strings instead of plastic ones, but Maestro Gabriel Rignon was better than me:

"I’ve used your strings for my last two solo recordings. I left it too late to order directly from you, so I ordered from Olivier Holzenburg (https://holzenburg-verlag.com/strings/) – it’s brilliant that he has them in stock.
And I wanted to tell you how lovely it was – and how much it changed the sound and the digital feel of the instrument to have the chance to play on your strings."
