Description

This is a standard length (48", 120cm) Gamut Academie Treble Gut string made with beef gut (bovine serosa) available with either a natural or varnish finish.

The string comes with plain, unknotted ends. This treble gut is in the natural color, or may be colored red (for harp “C” strings) or black (for harp “F” 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.

Beef gut has a higher tensile strength than does sheep gut, so this string is useful for instruments that require extra durability. If your instrument has a longer string length which puts it beyond the comfortable range for sheep gut strings, the beef gut would be a good choice for string selection as it will stand the strain a little better. Beef gut is processed to be a little harder than other kinds of gut, and it also has a lower twist of about 15 degrees to increase the strength.

Treble gut strings are best used for:

    • Violin: e-1, a-2
    • Viola: a-1
    • Bass Viol: d-1
    • Tenor Viol: g-1
    • Treble Viol: d-1
    • Lute: g-1, d-2, a-3, and octaves on bass courses
    • Harp: Treble strings

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 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 the care and cleaning of gut strings, and Gamut Music string types, string gauges, and string tensions can be found on our FAQ/Articles page. Not finding an answer to your question? Please contact us.

Beautiful fat Girl

Beautiful and "fat" sound, very nice feeling under your fingers. It gives you that kind of deep soprano sound of a violin.
