The best strings for yiollns are Of
Italian make and are from the intes-
tines of spring lambs, killed in Sep
tember. The process of drying and
bleaching of the woods and strings by
the hot Italian sun, rather than by
the artificial method used in other
countries, accounts in a great meas
ure for the superior quality of both
materials. This intense heat was also
the reason for the slow distillation
of the oils used by the Italian max
ers, which always remained at a high
temperature, and the varnish, slowly
soaking into the woods of the violins
beneath the heat of those Italian sum
mers, produced, in part, the mellow.
