Description

This is the Goldbrokat violin e-1 steel string made famous for being the first high-carbon string for solo performance. Before this the steel was softer with a tin coating. The string is a high-carbon steel with a loop end for attaching to a fine-tuner. The string is available from Gamut Music only in the Medium gauge of 0.26mm (0.066).

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 those devices should be removed before installing the gut string on the instrument.

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

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 to string to expand or contract slightly.

Gimped gut strings and custom gauged 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.

More information about Gamut gut strings, string types, gauges, and string tensions can be found on our FAQ/Articles page. Not finding an answer to your question? Please contact us.

Reliable and cheap

Great E string, you can find it cheaper but its nice to buy from here and help out Gamut. This string is easy to play and does not whistle very much, feels very smooth under the hand. I have acidic hands so they dont last very long

Lovely sound, short life

Although this string sounds quite wonderful (I mean, there's a reason Heifetz used it), it does not last long.
