Gimped strings are gauged by the equivalent diameter system. This means that a given string is equal in weight to a certain gut diameter but the actual diameter of the string is smaller due to the added weight of the wire. A gimped string may be gauged at =1.50mm but the actual diameter of the string is 1.10 mm. The thinness and wire gives a bright tone.
