Description
Gamut Academie Gut Contrabass 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 an extra heavy single-length (80", 200cm) Lyon-style beef gut (bovine serosa) contrabass (double bass) string with a copper wire wound onto the gut with a thin silk layer wound onto the core between the gut and wire. It is intended for use on a standard length contrabass which needs to be tuned lower than the standard E-4.
The string comes with a stopping end washer by default.
Contrabass C/D-5 Gut/Copper-Wound wire and stocking lengths:
- Knot to stocking - 54.5" (138cm)
- Stocking length - 12" (30cm)
- Total string length - 66.5" (169cm)
If your instrument requires additional wire or stocking length, please contact us.
This is a gut core string with a copper 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, helping the tone to be quick and bright.
Wound strings for the contrabass are warrantied for a period of six months from the date of shipping.
