Description

This three layer rose is based on the rosette in a guitar made by Antonio Stradivari now in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, England.

The original rose that Stradivari made has wooden layers, but we are making this rose is available with either wooden or paper layers, so you can customize the layers as you wish. The wood layers give more strength to the rose. The paper we use is a high quality, acid free art paper that offers strength with little reaction to humidity.

Please Note: because of the variability of wood color, the color of the wood layers on the rose that you receive may be a different shade than the wood pictured.

The standard diameter is 3" (7.62cm), but you can specify a custom diameter and we will scale the rose to your specifications.

The layers are referred to as follows:

  • Layer 1 is the bottom layer
  • Layer 2 is the middle layer
  • Layer 3 is the top layer

Instructions on installing a guitar rose can be found here.

Hand-made in the USA by Gamut Music, Inc., a leader in the revival of early music strings and instruments. Gut strings are not intended to be used with fine tuners or string adjusters, and those devices should be removed before installing the gut string on the instrument.

All Gamut Academie strings (pure gut and gut/metal-wound) are made with beef serosa unless they specifically say "Sheep Gut." All pure gut Tricolore violin and viola strings are made with sheep gut; gut/metal-wound Tricolore and all Red Diamond strings are made with beef serosa.

Gamut gut string gauges are approximate (≈) diameter. Meaning, that while a ≈0.60mm string is polished in the workshop to a diameter of 0.60mm, changes in ambient humidity, temperature, shipping, and storage conditions can cause to string to expand or contract slightly.

Gimped gut strings and custom gauged equal tension strings are gauged with the equivalent-gauge (=) system. This means that the gauge listed, such as =1.50mm, indicates that the string is approximately equal in weight to a plain gut string of that diameter. Of course, because the wire is much heavier than gut, the string will be much thinner than a plain gut string.

More information about Gamut gut strings, string types, gauges, and string tensions can be found on our FAQ/Articles page. Not finding an answer to your question? Please contact us.

Can't get anymore precise than this!

The laser cut rose is precise and highly intricate, you can't get anymore precise than this. It comes with helpful guide holes which you can tie strings to during finally assembly to the soundhole. I wish I waited for the rose to arrive so I could have matched the color/material to my bridge and mustache but still 5 stars to this beautiful product.
