These are the classic Tricolore sheep gut strings as used by 20th century violinist 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.
