This very pliable metal is robust and warm in tone and flexible for superior intonation. The wire is left round, not polished down.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a single-length (54cm wire length; 68cm overall length) beef gut (bovine serosa) string with a silverplate wire wound onto the gut in tandem with a thin silk layer wound onto the core between the gut and wire. Because the wire is round, the surface of the wire is polished so that the string has a smooth, “half-wound” feel. The tone is warm and full.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe end of the string that goes into the tailpiece comes with a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.gamutmusic.com\/pages\/3-d-printed-ball-end\" title=\"3-D printed ball end\"\u003e3-D printed ball end\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA new option now available for the Academie line of wound strings involving the silk \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.gamutmusic.com\/pages\/underlayer\" title=\"underlayer\"\u003eunderlayer\u003c\/a\u003e. This is a thin wrapping of silk that is wound around the core of the string before the wire is wound on. For many years we have been putting this underlayer on Academie strings in response to customer requests, but awareness and knowledge of historical performance practice has progressed enough now that we can offer this feature as an option. According to our research, it is unlikely that such an underlayer would have been used on wound music strings before about 1900 — and for those players who want to explore the true nature of historical strings, we are now offering to make strings without this buffer layer. The effect of the underlayer is to increase the internal damping in the string which gives the string a warmer tone. Without the underlayer, the tone of the string is brighter and has more of the lush, ravishing tone attributed to historical times.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Academie","offers":[{"title":"Light \/ Silk (Default)","offer_id":47323072561382,"sku":"B049L","price":52.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light \/ No Underlayer","offer_id":47323072626918,"sku":"B049L-NU","price":52.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium \/ Silk (Default)","offer_id":47323072692454,"sku":"B049M","price":52.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium \/ No Underlayer","offer_id":47323072757990,"sku":"B049M-NU","price":52.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Heavy \/ Silk (Default)","offer_id":47323072823526,"sku":"B049H","price":52.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Heavy \/ No Underlayer","offer_id":47323072889062,"sku":"B049H-NU","price":52.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0731\/6389\/9110\/files\/A333-cello-g3-silver-1028__81716.1728489765.1280.1280.jpg?v=1740739176","url":"https:\/\/shop.gamutmusic.com\/products\/cello-da-spalla-g-4-gut-silverplate-wound","provider":"Gamut Music, Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
