Stringing a Pardessus de Viol is more complicated that other instruments because it can have either five of six strings, and the five-stringed instrument can use either one of two popular tunings. We have done our best to make the string choice clear and easy, but if you get confused, please contact us.
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.
