(05/23/2025) – Memorial Weekend Sale: to receive a discount on Equal Tension strings, please contact us before placing your order.
These are Equal Tension strings designed according to the recommendation of historical theoreticians such as Mersenne, who felt that for the instrument to be balanced and respond in proportion all the strings on the instrument should have the same tension.
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.
Use our String Calculators to find the correct strings for your instrument. You can find Specific String Tensions here. Interested in varnished strings? Many strings come with the Option to Add Varnish.
