Pirastro Gamba Strings

Strings made from sheep gut have been mentioned in the history of string instruments since earliest times. While nomadic peoples used tendons and horse hair, following the finding of an Egyptian lute from 1500 BC, we know that the Egyptians had already mastered the techniques of gut string manufacturing.

The metal wound strings which we use today did not start to be developed until the middle of the 17th century, at the time of Stradivarius. To offer you this authentic stringing at today’s high quality, Pirastro has reconstructed these developments and incorporated them into their gamba string program.

Pirastro Gut Strings for Viola da Gamba

Reasonable price for gut strings we have used before. They sound better than Perlon strings, but are less stable and long lived in outdoor conditions. Gut strings are better for recording, once they are broken in.
