    Can someone tell me about these strings? Are they 100% traditional gut strings or is there a slight variation? How are they different from Premier? Is it just that Premier is made in France and Sipario Gold Gut are made in Italy? Like Camac wants to be in charge of their strings and Salvi/LH wants to be in charge of theirs. Anyone have a gauge chart for Sipario Gold Gut?

    I have seen one video on youtube with a harpist contrasting the sound of the two brands. I wanted to just understand the material composition difference. Is the sound difference only going to be contributed to French vs Italian cows? Is the varnish coating also different?

    Sorry, Sidney, but I have not had any experience with Sipario Gold Gut strings. I use Premier gut strings from the Atlanta Harp Center and like them far better than Bow Brand, Vanderbilt, and some others I have used in the past. Maybe someone on these Forums can help you.

    Have a good day,

    I’ve been told they are a high-quality natural gut string with very warm tone. I would expect them to have a clear pitch, like Bow Strings have. I am so happy with my Bow Brand heavy-gauge gut strings, I can’t imagine changing brands. They are incredibly durable. Their finish is natural, too, not a polyurethane.
