Gauge: 0.76mm Tension: Medium Length: Double Length Type: Unvarnished Gut This is a double length treble gut string made with beef serosa. Natural strings are hand-rubbed with a light oil. This gut is available only in the natural color which varies from white to a pale straw hue. Beef serosa 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 beyond the comfortable range for gut strings, the beef gut would be a good choice for string material as it will stand the strain a little better. Beef gut is processed to be a little harder than the other kinds of gut and also has a lower twist of about 15 degrees to increase the strength.

Gauge: 1.28mm Tension: Medium + Length: Single Length Type: Lyon This is a single length, (24"), single twist Lyon style string made with beef serosa. Natural strings are hand- rubbed with a light oil. The string comes with plain, unknotted ends. Named after the town in France which was famous for a particular type of flexible gut string. From the 16th Century these strings were recommended as being some of the best strings for basses. Gamut's reproduction of this string is made from gut specially processed in our shop to be soft and responsive. The gut is twisted in one direction to about 45 degrees for the optimum combination of durability and flexibility. The Lyon string is not as flexible as the Pistoy string. Both Lyon and Pistoy can be used for the same string positions. The Lyon should be preferred when a little extra stiffness is required under the bow or finger. This type of string is characterized by a tight and visible twist. The color tends toward opaque light to medium yellow. Browse all Gamut Academie Gut Strings available at the Early Music Shop.
