PLEASE NOTE BEFORE PURCHASING:
COPPER LOADED STRINGS are custom-calculated and produced at the customer's request, so we do not accept returns unless they have obvious defects. Check the bridge and peg holes carefully before ordering, as these strings are about 1/4 thinner than bare gut strings, but not as thin as wound strings.

CORDEDRAGO STRINGS ARE HISTORICAL STRINGS, and it is known from iconography that broken cantini are a typical memento mori, so they are objects with a limited lifespan, and only basses can last two years or more. A professional knows this very well, but those who use modern strings do not, so we appeal to the common sense of customers for guarantees and claims for compensation, otherwise I have no problem changing business.

 

In the field of medieval musical instruments and ethnic instruments Cordedrago is available to the customer to identify the most suitable strings for each specific case. Working with ancient materials and techniques the gut strings of our production allow us to obtain a very expressive and harmonic voice from the instrument.

The strings most suited to medieval instruments are certainly the Cantini di Napoli, because they are simply twisted strings, even if for basses, with gauges over 140, it may be essential to use Cordoni di Roma, very resonant and ready for the answer. For first strings, if you need gauges under 66, it is recommended to use the Ritorte di Salle.

For the calculation of the gauges we kindly ask customers to use the Arto's string calculator, because I do not have time to dedicate myself to the study of individual cases; if my collaboration is indispensable, I warn you in advance that I can add a "consultancy" item in the invoice proportionate to the complexity of the calculation.

Once the type and caliber of the necessary strings have been established, they can be purchased directly with the "add to cart" buttons in the "Prices" menu, or send an e-mail to: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
