Tricolore Viola Strings

(Showing 5 of 5)

These are the classic Tricolore sheep gut strings as used by 20th century virtuosos and many players interested in reproducing this historical tone.

Plain sheep 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. Tricolore gut/metal-wound strings are made with beef serosa, as they always have been.
