Introduction to Gamut Strings

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.
