Plain gut string for baroque cello (HU type string)

First-class lamb gut strings for high and middle positions. All strings with a diameter greater than 0.50 mm are made exclusively with high torsion and undergo a special treatment, which aims at maximum elasticity for easy response and long life for best acoustic results.

Polished strings (type HU)

The AQUILA gut strings are largely similar to the historical hand polished strings in that they have only a fraction of ground fibers in comparison to the otherwise current conventional grinding methods.

  • Gut string for baroque cello
  • For stringing after ca. 1690, calculated for a pitch standard of 415 Hz
  • Vibrating string length: 68 cm
  • Total length of the gut string: 120 cm


Due to the special manufacturing method of polished strings, the diameters represent mean values ​​(for example, a string with diameter 66 may be in a range of 65-67.)
