Academie gut strings are used by professional and serious amature musicians around the world. This is a single length, 30″, medium gauge 1.04mm Pistoy gut string made with beef serosa, with a natural finish and the end of the string is plain and can be knotted as necessary. Instructions on how to tie a string knot are on the back of each package. These strings are usually used on Baroque instruments by those musicians playing historical performance practice. Consequently, the gauges are set to the pitch of a-415. The Pistoy string is a unique development of Daniel Larson at Gamut Strings. It is named for the town in Italy which was famous for producing the best string for basses, being “flexible, smooth, and well twisted”. Our reproduction is made of three strands of gut twisted in one direction and then the three combined together by twisting in the other direction in rope fashion. When dry, the string is polished down to the specific gauge required by the instrument. The results are a very flexible string with a quick response and a full, round sound. The string is characterized by a noticeable twist and flexible feel.
