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.

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)
Viola d’amore
For the viola d’amore there is a set consisting of:
- a Ritorta di Salle for the first string,
- a Cantino di Napoli for LA and Fa #,
- a Cordoncino di Roma for the Re
- a Cordone Cordedrago for the La.
For the Do and La bass, since the Silver Wound are not currently in production, it is possible to order some Copper loaded Appesantite in Rame or Cordone di Roma or Cordone Cordedrago.

Gutmann Music Strings
Gutmann Strings are made from the best Australian cattle gut.
The origin of the raw material is essential for the making of high quality musical gut-wire.
We found the Australian cow ideal as those cows life and diet creates the typical characteristics we need to produce a musical instrument string. This string needs to have a long life when the tension on the string is high and played by a bow or fingers, not always soft and gentle but with passion …
