G VIOLONE

“… the humming Violone is not less important…because its thicker sound tone continues to buzz and is heard from afar …”

Johann Mattheson: Das neu eröffnete Orchester, Hamburg 1713

We have taken great care during our wild experiments to ensure that our thick sheep gut strings are made to hum and buzz.

Since the string length (vibrating length of the string measured from nut to bridge) of individual instruments differs, the string thicknesses should be chosen according to the string length.

We produce special pure gut F-, C- and G-strings.

By combining the traditional rope production methods with string making techniques, we were able to create a significantly thickened string.

Our string is very flexible, produces an audibly clearer sound and reacts more quickly to the bow compared to a string that has been thickened less.

Our wound strings guarantee a new playing experience.

Winding:

-copper silver-plated, dark, warm sound

-copper, bright clear sound

Recommendation for playing at a frequency of A=415Hz:

Vibrating String Length	81-82cm	83-84cm	85-86cm
G1	1.18/1.20 mm	1.16/1.18 mm	1.12/1.14 mm
D2	1.58/1.60 mm	1.54/1.56 mm	1.50/1.52 mm
A3	2.10/2.15 mm	2.05/2.10 mm	2.00/2.05 mm
F4	2.60/2.65 mm	2.55/2.60 mm	2.50/2.55 mm
C5	3.50/3.55 mm	3.45/3.50 mm	3.35/3.40 mm
G6	4.60/4.65 mm	4.50/4.55 mm	4.35/4.40 mm
C5 wound	large	large	medium
G6 wound	large	large	medium

Equal Tension (equal tension on every empty string) is also playable with our strings, we will be happy to advise you.

For the fifths between the strings to be pure, the mass in the string must be evenly distributed. Gut is a natural product that can change through playing. With the Schürch bridge, you can reliably and easily check your string for fifths purity and correct it with fine sandpaper if necessary.Until the introduction of machine sanding, it was a matter of course for musicians to rework the string themselves. The awareness of the need for this has disappeared to this day.Re-sharpening the strings with the Schürch-Bridge is simple and uncomplicated and prolongs the playability of your string.Instruction
