Diapason Gut

PLEASE NOTE: Gamut gut strings are hand-made to order. Shipping timelines are calculated from when your order leaves the string workshop, not when the order was placed. We send a sales receipt with tracking # when your order ships.

International Orders: Are subject to customs/VAT ("landed cost") fees at the receiving end. Gamut Music has no control over government- or carrier-imposed taxes or fees. See our list of authorized Worldwide Dealers for retailers near you. Does your country require a Tax ID/VAT/CUIT #? Please include it at checkout in the "Order instructions" section.

Gamut Academie Diapason Gut Strings are extra-long (96"/240cm) beef gut (bovine serosa) strings made for special use on instruments like archlutes, theorbos, lautenwercks, and harpsichords.

Diapason strings have a higher degree of twist because these strings are not intended to have a lot of tension put on them, as would be the case for Treble gut. Gauges from 0.50mm to 1.00mm correspond to our Treble gut strings except they are of medium to high single-twist construction. The gauges from 1.02mm to 2.00mm correspond to our Lyon gut strings. Diapason gut is processed to be flexible and responsive.
