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.

This is a set of beef serosa strings for the Baroque violoncello (48", 120cm). We have bundled together the most popular kinds of strings for ease of ordering. The set consists of:
- a-1 - Lyon Gut
- d-2 - Pistoy Gut
- G-3 - Gut/Silver-Wound
- C-4 - Gut/Silver-Wound
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. The set comes with plain ends, but the a-1 and d-2 may be tied for you, and leather washers added for an additional charge.
Instructions on how to tie a string knot are on the back of each package.
