Synthetic Gut & Silk 800
Until the middle of the 20th-century guitar strings were made up exclusively of gut for the Trebles and wound strings on a silk core for the basses. The acoustic performance of this kind of setup was very different from that of the current sets. It was indeed characterised by a marked timbre and brilliance of the most acute strings in gut (certainly superior to nylon and in some ways, for the treble, more similar to that of PVDF or Carbon) while the basses, on the other hand, were of nature exquisitely vocal, i.e. presenting a less bright and less persistent sonority than the current bass strings wound on a nylon core and more focused on the fundamental.

This set (made in one degree of tension) reproduces exactly a typical 19th-century string setup, as shown by our careful researches.
