String Tools

Tune it, hear it, find the right gut string

Tune any gut-strung instrument with your microphone, listen to how each string should sound, or work out the gauge for a note, the note a gauge will give, or the tension it will pull. Every result can be ordered as a custom gauge from our workshop in India.
