Music strings

Gut strings for double bass, violin, cello and harp

Plain gut strings twisted and rectified by hand from sheep gut in our workshop in India, where we have made strings since the 1950s. The tone is clear, warm and full-bodied, with good sustain.

Double bass strings come as a full EADG set, a DG pair or single strings (180 cm). For violin, viola, cello, harp and lute we sell 6 m coils in a range of diameters, so you can cut the length you need.

Online orders take up to 20 double bass sets or strings at a time. Need more? WhatsApp us or email info@globalgutstrings.com for a bulk quote.

Choosing the right string

Quick guidance from our workshop. Not sure? Send us your instrument or racquet details on WhatsApp.

Which diameter?

Use our String Tools to find the gauge for your note, string length and tension.

Plain or PU coated?

PU coated gut is more weather resistant. Plain gut gives the traditional warm tone preferred by baroque musicians.

Settling in

Gut reacts to humidity and temperature. Expect new strings to stretch and need retuning for the first few days.
