Why should I choose beef gut?
The use of beef gut as alternative to lamb gut dates back to the first half of the last century.
Beef gut allow a high level of standardization of produced strings that we only offer smooth and varnished.
This kind of material meets the needs of all who are looking mainly for reliability, certainty, great durabilty, limitate alteration due to climatic changes, and tuning resistance even in case of high atmospheric humidity. On the other hand, they are not suggested for those who aim mainly to the historicity and quality of sound.
Why should I choose unsplit lamb gut?
This type of material is suggested o those who wish to use strings that are strictly made according to the historical procedure and that give the maximum in terms of acoustic performance. Even if these strings are not varnished, we noticed that the use of whole gut, i.e. not cut into strips, still offer a discrete resistance to climatic changes.

Vibrating string length: 70 cm
Smooth gut strings with varnished surface The varnish we used does not come as casualty but as the result of a careful selection to ensure perfect compatibility with the elasticity of the gut, a perfect contact with the hairs of your bow , maximum protection to mechanical wear, to crease and stability to humidity changes. These strings have a varnished surface in the range of diameters from .38 mm to 1.70 mm. Starting from a diameter of 1.90 mm, the strings are simply oiled. Starting from a diameter of 2.00 mm the standard length will be 180 cm only.
Tension
In the following tables, for each note it will be first displayed the string in medium tension, followed by the one in strong tension.
Choose which strings to install
If you prefer to arrange your set by selecting the precise diameters you can add the single strings from the tables below, where the recommended diameters are shown. An increase in diameter corresponds to an increase in tension.
Otherwise, if you prefer to choose any diameter freely, we suggest you go to the overview pages of the Beef gut strings type HV and the Close wound “F” strings (pure silver)

Basso baroque strings in lamb gut
Vibrating string length: 70 cm
The usage of unsplit lamb gut, besides being closer to the historical reality of the string makers of the past, has also led to strings with unexpected superior acoustical and mechanical properties, as compared to those produced with gut strips. The HU type strings have a surface that has been smoothened only the minimum needed to guarantee that the string is not false; the string is then slightly oiled.
Standard length is 120 cm up to diameters of 1.90 mm. Starting from a diameter of 2.00 mm, the standard length changes to 180 mm only.

7 strings bass viol ‚Stradivarian‘ set
(inspired by wound string samples referred to Stradivari)
String length: 120 cm
This set is inspired by three Stradivari’s wound string found at the Violin Museum in Cremona. They consist of one demifile-type string and two close wound strings.
From the measurements we took on the specimens, it is probably the fifth, sixth and seventh string of a 7-string bass gamba. Examples of this type of setting can be found in 18th century French iconography.

Vibrating string length: 70 cm
The F-Red Series are the new synthetic strings for bowed instruments, developed by Aquila Corde Armoniche as a valid alternative to natural gut
Eco-sustainable, stable in intonation and durable, the new F-Red Series are our answer to the needs of all students and musicians who have to face conditions where the use of gut becomes too demanding, such as
- high temperature and humidity conditions, typical for example of some sub-tropical countries (e.g. South America and Africa);
- high cost for the replacement of gut strings that students have to face when approaching the study of ancient music instruments.
Notice: to avoid damages, do not cut the strings. In case you want to shorten them, first spread some quick glue around the point where you want to cut.
WARNING: Wound strings are made with round wire and not flat, as was done at the end of the nineteenth century
WARNING: The surface is not smooth, but slightly satin, due to a special covering. After about a week, the strings will spontaneously smooth out.

The “tirata”
“Tirata” is a word used by the string makers of the great Italian tradition. It represents the correct length of string needed on each instrument, considering its full dimensions. We decided to reintroduce it in our vocabulary to specify the length of a single string, which will no longer be indicated in centimetres.
For example, a string that’s 120 cm long will correspond to 2 tirate on a violin, but only 1 tirata on a cello.
Notice: to avoid damages, do not cut the strings. In case you want to shorten them, first spread some quick glue around the point where you want to cut.
WARNING: Wound strings are made with round wire and not flat, as was done at the end of the nineteenth century
WARNING: The surface is not smooth, but slightly satin, due to a special covering. After about a week, the strings will spontaneously smooth out.

Corde per Violone in Sol in budello di mucca
Lunghezza vibrante: 95 cm
Corde di budello liscio con superficie verniciata. Il tipo di vernice che abbiamo impiegato è il frutto di una accurata ricerca al fine di assicurare una perfetta compatibilità con l’elasticità del budello, ottimo contatto con il crine dell’arco, massima protezione all’usura meccanica e alla piega e, infine, grande stabilità ai cambi di umidità.
Queste corde si presentano verniciate fino al diametro di 1.70 mm. A partire dal diametro seguente le corde sono invece solo oliate (Contrabbasso e Violoni).
La lunghezza standard risulta di 180 cm.
Scegli tu quali corde installare
Se preferisci comporti la muta selezionando i diametri precisi puoi aggiungere le corde singole dalle tabelle sottostanti, dove sono riportati i diametri consigliati. All’aumento del diametro corrisponde un aumento di tensione.
Se invece preferisci scegliere in completa libertà qualsiasi diametro, ti consigliamo di andare alla pagina riassuntiva delle corde in budello di mucca verniciato “HV” e delle corde in budello rivestite a filatura accostata tipo “F” (in argento puro).

Corde Drago
Per la famiglia della viola da gamba sono disponibili tutte le tipologie Cordedrago, comprese le demi-filée e le filate in argento su budello, senza seta interposta, secondo la tecnica antica. Dato che i cordoni di nostra produzione sono molto morbidi e sonori anche se grossi, è possibile limitare al massimo l’impiego di corde filate, come era in uso nel ‚600 fino alla loro introduzione ad opera di Sainte Colombe nel 1675.
For the viola da gamba family, all Cordedrago types are available, including the demi-filée and the silver-wound on gut strings without interposed silk, according to the ancient technique. Since our produced strings are very soft and sonorous even if thick, it is possible to minimize the use of wound strings, as was customary in the 17th century until their introduction by Sainte Colombe in 1675.
(Silver wound strings currently are out of production)
Renaissance Bass
For the Renaissance bass the following set is proposed:
- the cantino is a Ritorta di Salle,
- the La a Cantino di Napoli,
- the Mi a Cordoncino di Roma,
- the Do a Cordone di Roma,
- the low Sol and Re a Cordone Cordedrago.
The set has a 10% discounted cost compared to a similar custom frame and refers to the calculation of string gauges at a vibrating length of cm.74.
However, it is possible to choose different types of strings and gauges at full price, for example by placing a Cantino di Napoli as first string (in which case we recommend lowering the string one tone when the instrument is not used) and instead of the Sol and Re Cordoni Cordedrago a Copper loaded string (Appesantite in Rame).
For the Renaissance bass the following set is proposed:
medium Ø: 73-91-120-150-220-280
strong Ø: 76-94-124-155-240-300
Baroque Bass
For the baroque bass viola da gamba the following set is proposed:
- the cantino is a Ritorta di Salle,
- the La a Cantino di Napoli,
- the Mi a Cordoncino di Roma,
- the Do a Cordone di Roma,
- the Sol, Re and La bass are not included in the set because currently the production of silver wounded strings is suspended.
The set has a 10% discounted cost compared to a similar custom frame and refers to the calculation of string gauges at a vibrating length of cm.74.
However, it is possible to choose different types of strings and gauges at full price, for example by placing a Cantino di Napoli as first string (in which case we recommend lowering the string one tone when the instrument is not used)
Filate in Brass strings are being studied, according to Marais’s own suggestion:
For the baroque bass viola da gamba the following set is proposed:
medium Ø: 73-91-120-150
strong Ø: 76-94-124-155
