Description
Gamut Academie strings are designed for Baroque instruments by those musicians playing historical performance practice at a=415, and are perfectly suitable for modern a=440 practice, but the result will be a little bit more tension at a=440.

We have bundled together the most popular kinds of beef serosa Bass Viol strings (48", 120cm) and offer them in a standard set for ease of ordering. The set consists of:
- d-1 - Treble Gut
- a-2 - Treble Gut
- e-3 - Lyon Gut
- C-4 - Pistoy Gut
- G-5 - Gut/Silverplate-Wound
- D-6 - Gut/Silverplate-Wound
The set comes with plain ends for the d-1, a-2, e-3, and C-4. The G-5 and D-6 come with a 3-D printed ball end by default, and there is an option to add ball ends to the other strings. Instructions on how to tie a string knot are on the back of each package.
Plain 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.
