Dependable Strings — Gut Sound. Modern Strength.

Whether you’re playing an open-air concert, sweating through a packed hall, or rehearsing under hot lights, your strings should keep up with you, not wear out on you. Dependable Coated Gut Violin Strings are engineered to perform where traditional gut might falter: in humid or high-heat conditions, and even under attack from acidic or alkaline perspiration.

While most gut violin strings rely on varnish for protection, Gamut Dependable strings go further. Each string is coated with a thick, nontoxic polymer layer that delivers superior resistance to environmental stress without compromising tone. The result? Unmatched stability, longer life, and confidence in any setting.

For those who demand historical tone without historical headaches, choose Dependable — the red string.

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 Gamut Music recommends removing those devices before installing the gut string on the instrument.

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

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 the string to expand or contract slightly.

Gimped gut strings and gut/metal-wound 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.
