INTRODUCTION

Nylgut strings, diameters from  .62 to 1.45 mm; length: 200 cms

FIELD OF APPLICATION

These strings were specifically designed for particularly long diapasons of Archlutes, Chitarrones and Theorbos, but also as substitute for the thicker gut strings of modern and early Harps. Their main feature is certainly their prompt and bright acoustic performance, comparable (as Theorbo diapasons) with that of loaded gutstrings, noticeably superior to that of plain gut. Also to be noted is the remarkable resistance to wear and tear and the stability against climatic changes.

Chitarrone with NGE bass strings: hear the sound (938 Kb).

ATTENTION:

In order to obtain in a few minutes a perfectly stable intonation we advise to pull laterally and with gentle force each string while tuning and continue the tuning process until the string stops decreasing in pitch.

Note: gauges are expressed in hundred of millimeters (i.e. 120 = 1.20 mm)
