Gamut Academie 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 Treble Viol beef serosa strings (32", 80cm) and offer them in a standard set for ease of ordering. The set consists of:

The set comes with plain ends for the d-1, a-2, e-3, and C-4. The G-5 and D-6 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.

#

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 directly: support@gamutmusic.com.

    Gut treble viol strings full set with knots

    Easy to put on viol as loops already tied. I found they sounded very good when tuned up to A415, Rapid delivery to Australia! Highly recommended.

    Gamut strings

    I've used Gamut strings on treble, tenor, bass viols, violone and baroque double bass for over two decades. They're the only strings I use. They provide consistently great sound and durability. The Gamut is always extremely responsive and helpful. Outstanding all around.
