Nice responsive a-string!
This is my first experience with a plain gut string and I’m enjoying it. At first I was put off by the slightly scratchy sound but as it played in it sounds clear, full and responsive. There is still a very slight “swishing” sound every time I play a note on this string but I actually enjoy it. I bought this in conjunction with the Tricolore e, heavy wound gut d and heavy wound gut g. I like it enough that I’ll likely try the heavy plain gut d next.

The best strings for both Baroque and Romantic violin playing
I am an exclusive user of Gamut strings NOT because I'm retro----but because they are the best sounding strings on the market-----perlon or other artificial strings go dead after two weeks they should be--- together with shoulder rests thrown in the garbage

Nice gut string for modern playing
Very high quality gut string, better than most on the market. The heavy gauge has a very warm sound, and has very fast response to the bow. Break-in time is quite long at around a week or to until the tone stabilises, but after that a long life could be expected from the string.

A string that lets the instrument shine
Honest to goodness gut strings that let your violin and your hands determine the sound, rather than being stuck in the brassy constraints of synthetic strings. They have not changed in years, and they never need to. I like to treat mine with a little walnut oil every now and then to keep them going a little longer than their natural lifespan.

Beautiful all round string
Excellent projection and resonance. No issues with tuning stability whatsoever, which is great! Choice of gauge makes a small but noticeable difference in response, which is up to the preference of the player.

The best product in a saturated market
I don't understand why people fall for absurd sales pitches for nasty-sounding synthetic strings nor do I understand why manufacturers keep on coming with new "improved" ones all the time. My recommendation: Stick with the glorious sound of the great gut strings, especially the tricolor ones. They sound big and beautiful.

Glorious sound
My favorite string. The quality of sound with Tricolore strings is unbeatable!
