How Our Strings Are Made
The journey of a Global Gut string begins with the careful sourcing of premium sheep gut. Only the finest, most resilient raw materials are selected to meet our rigorous standards.
In our workshop in India, master artisans employ a meticulous, weeks-long curing and washing process. The gut is gently treated to remove impurities while preserving the vital collagen structure that gives our strings their signature elasticity.
Each string is hand-spun and tensioned over several days. Our proprietary coating process seals the fibers, offering enhanced durability against moisture and friction without sacrificing the delicate, responsive feel that professionals demand.
Before leaving our facility, every batch undergoes strict quality control, testing for gauge consistency, tensile strength, and finish. It is a slow, uncompromised process that cannot be rushed.

The String Studio
Gut strings were the voice of these instruments for centuries. In the studio you can play ten of them on screen: violin, viola, cello, double bass, viola da gamba, guitar, ukulele, lute, oud and harp. Pluck or bow a string, strum a chord, or let it play a tune.
The notes are real recordings of gut strings. Turn your sound on.
