DRAGO Viola String D

Cordedrago – gut strings for historical instruments

The
Cordoncini di Roma are lamb gut strings made by twirling three gut strands,
consisting of two or more strands twisted in the opposite directions.
Cordedrago uses only whole and very fine sheep guts and thanks to a
specially developed machine produces strings with extreme uniformity and
very smooth surfaces that require only a slight smoothing. These are
strings that have probably been made since antiquity, as can be deduced
from Roman bas-reliefs and other historical sources, but which were
especially made in the Renaissance and Baroque periods in Rome. They are
particularly suitable for the middle and low pitch of baroque violin,
viola and cello, viola da gamba, as well as medieval and ethnic
instruments.
