Clef Double Bass Gut String Oil

Protect and Preserve Your Gut Strings

Clef Gut String Oil is specially formulated to keep your gut strings healthy, flexible, and long-lasting. Developed by Gary Upton—double bassist and luthier—this proprietary blend of refined oils is made to nourish and protect gut strings on double bass, cello, violin, and viola.

Regular use helps maintain elasticity and pliability, reduces fraying, and extends the life of your strings. Weekly application not only supports consistent tuning but can help prevent costly string replacements over time.

Just a little goes a long way—and a few ounces of prevention can save you hundreds in the long run.

How to use:
Apply with a clean cloth, let it soak in for about 10 minutes, wipe off any excess—and you’re ready to play.
