Flamenco guitar strings
Before the invention of nylon, from what material were strings made for use by flamenco players? I have tried different search engines and forae but found no answer or similar question.

In Europe, stringed instruments (harps, guitars, violins) have used strings made from animal gut for millenia.
The lower strings of a guitar were sometimes made with gut wrapped around a silk core.
Here are the icky details.
