This is a set of Baroque Guitar strings. We have bundled together the most popular kinds of strings and offer them in a standard set for ease of ordering. The set consists of:

  • e-1 Treble gut (2 strings)
  • b-2 Treble gut (2 strings)
  • g-3 Treble gut (2 strings)
  • D-4 Lyon gut fundamental
  • d-4 Treble gut octave
  • A-5 Lyon gut fundamental
  • a-5 Treble gut octave

Plain gut strings are available with a natural or varnish finish. Natural strings are hand-rubbed with a light oil. Varnished strings have three coats of finish before being hand polished with the oil. There is an additional charge for varnished strings.

Academie strings are manufactured in the USA by Gamut Music, Inc., a leader in the revival of early music strings and instruments. Gut strings are not intended to be used with fine tuners or string adjusters and those devices should be removed before installing the gut string on the instrument.

More information about Gamut gut strings, string types, gauges, and string tensions can be found on our articles page. Not finding an answer to your question? Please contact us directly: support@gamutmusic.com.

    Baroque Guitar String Set

    The set comes with the requisite 9 strings. I have been playing with an octave on the top g string, and pairs of d and a strings. The set comes with matched g strings, and bass and octave d and a strings. The sound more rhythmic, and generally has more character. Playing the octave d and a strings with the thumb for melody lines requires an altered technique, but I do like the effect. I was replacing a set of nylon strings. Of course, playing on gut, if you play everyday, is always a great experience (if not, the tuning issues are maddening).
