Manufacturing process - Japanese and Italian

Tokyo, Shimamura Academy, 11 July 2018

My deepest thanks to my host as well as translator Takumi Takakura.

Based on the interviews with old string makers in Salle, we cover the historical gut strings manufacturing process. This process involved no less than 20 workers per workshop for at least 30 days, from the slaughtering to the packaged string. This was the standardized way to make strings in Italy from the 17th up to the 19th century. In this period Italy and Italian workers had the monopolism of this production.

This means that "historical strings" is something different from "amatorial" strings.
