Double bass

The suggested sets of gut strings for Baroque Double Bass are examples of so-called “equal tension“ strings. If you want to work out your individual string combinations, you’ll find the String Calculator a great help. The Price List  (available as PDF) will also give you a complete list of all Pure Corde gut strings.  In addition, we offer strings made by Toro (Italy), which work very well in combination. For a description of the string types “diskant”, “high twist” and “triple”, please click here. The gradations between the gut string sets for Baroque violin, such as “Light” (460 Hz), “Medium” (440 Hz), and “Heavy” (415 Hz) are done in semitone steps. (See also under String Sets).
