Description
OVERSTOCK STRING:
This is an Academie Bass Viol G-5 Pistoy Heavy++ (2.08mm) string.
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 silver wire is so much heavier than gut, the string will be much thinner than a gut string.
No additional options are available for this string.
These are new, unused strings sold as-is and covered by Gamut's basic 30 days after shipping date warranty. Overstock strings are not eligible for refund or store credit but may be replaced at the discretion of Gamut Music. Overstock strings are not eligible for additional discounts or sale prices.
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.
