Description
Gamut Academie Gut Cello 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 gut (bovine serosa) Equal Tension cello strings (48", 120cm) and offer them in a standard set 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
The set comes with plain ends for the a-1 and d-2. The G-3 and C-4 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.
