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)

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.
