La Folia Strings from France/Italy are now in stock at Saraband Music. The first order (May 2011) is for sheep gut strings only, to suit the upper strings for most instruments (up to 1.20 gauge). More stock will be arriving over coming months.

Gauges: Please order even gauges only up to 1.30. For example, .70 or .72, not .71mm. After this the gauges go up by .05 until 2.0 (eg. 1.40, 1.45 etc), then by .1, (2.10, 2.20, etc.)

Varnishing: Gauges from .58 to .68 are always varnished. From .70 to 1.00, you can choose varnished or unvarnished strings. Gauges thicker than this are always unvarnished.

Twist: Generally plain gut strings are high twist. You can order low twist strings for .74, .76 or .78 for the bass viol top string, or 1.16 or 1.18 for a cello top string. Extra high twist strings are also available in certain gauges only for violin, viola and cello D strings. Low twist and extra high twist are special orders only through Saraband Music.
