Bass String Re-Wind

Gamut Music offers re-winding for contrabass strings.

The problem with bass wound strings is that they will eventually develop a buzzing sound when the core shrinks and the wire becomes loose. When this happens you can send the old string back to Gamut Music and we will stretch the core again and put new wire on it. This process can be done to a string at least three times before the core degrades and loses tone. 

• Academie contrabass nylon re-winding is available for the Lyon g-1 and d-2 strings; copper or silverplate wire re-winding is available for all metal-wound Academie contrabass strings.

• Red Diamond copper wire re-winding is available the A-3 and E-4 strings.
  We no longer offer nylon rewinding for the Red Diamond g-1 and d-2 strings.

This service is available only for Gamut Music Academie and Red Diamond strings.

We do not recondition other brands of strings.
