Silk Strings

$6 /ea
$20 /trial set of 4

The sound is brighter. They are less stretched than gut and became stable within couple days after being installed to the instrument.

  The available diameters are 0.7 mm, 0.8mm, 0.85 mm,  0.9 mm, 0.95mm,  1.0 mm, 1.1 mm, and 1.2 mm. (Ask for larger diameters, with a little higher prices). The diameter tolerance is +- 0.03 mm. The length of the strings is 800 mm .

These strings may be used for chanters, trumpette and fly strings, as well as for bourdons (of larger diameters).

Trial set includes 4 strings by your choice of any diameters up to 1.2 mm.
