Re: What were strings made of before?...

CAT GUT.

There are a few folks in Williamsburg who play on gut strings. They have a softer/silkier tone but go out of tune much more often.

EDIT SEVERAL MONTHS LATER: I just want to clarify that I'm refering to people who play bowed instruments like violin and gamba, not necessarily guitar. I don't know anyone who does that.
