                                                - JAZZ DOUBLEBASS GUT SETS -

Gut strings were already produced in Padoa, Verona, Venice, Treviso and Vicenza since the beginning of the 17th century. Documents of the time show that such production lasted uninterruptedly well into the mid 20th century. Locally produced strings, thanks to their superior quality, were exported abroad in big quantity, as proven by numerous recently discovered archival sources. Our products are wholly produced in house in Vicenza (a town 60 Km far from Venice), to individual requirements, beginning from fresh gut, respecting and reviving the old italian tradition.
