Gamut Academie strings are designed for Baroque instruments by those musicians playing historical performance practice at a=415, and are perfectly suitable for modern a=440 practice, but the result will be a little bit more tension at a=440.

This is a set of beef serosa 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:

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.

Gamut gut string gauges are approximate (≈) diameter. Meaning, that while a ≈0.60mm string is polished in the workshop to a diameter of 0.60mm, changes in ambient humidity, temperature, shipping, and storage can cause to string to expand or contract slightly.

Gimped gut strings and custom gauged equal tension strings are gauged with the equivalent-gauge (=) system. This means that the gauge listed, such as =1.50mm, indicates that the string is approximately equal in weight to a plain gut string of that diameter. Of course, because the wire is much heavier than gut, the string will be much thinner than a plain gut string.

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).
