Pure - Corde Darmsaiten

Welcome to our Pure Corde Webshop. We created it to help you find the right strings for your instrument, which can at times be daunting. Owing to very encouraging feedback over the last few years, we decided in 2011 to found the company Pure Corde gut strings.  Our goal is to rediscover, in collaboration with our string maker in Morocco, the lost sound of the early Baroque era. We peered over his shoulder full of enthusiasm and curiosity, watching him at work and gaining insight into the skills and tricks of the trade involved.  Thanks to the fact that contemporary Moroccans are very much in touch with their musical tradition, here the string maker’s craft, unlike in Europe, never died out. Together we managed to develop a method that enables us to produce strings that have been outstandingly adapted to the requirements of European instruments based on traditional criteria whilst matching the sound and properties of the materials of the early Baroque period.  Due to strong twisting, they are exceptionally soft and particularly well suited to the medium and lower ranges of the individual instrument. These Moroccan gut strings are particularly responsive and produce a sound that is direct and rich.
