The smaller strings, such as those
for the voilin, are usually made up
into bundles of 10 or 80, for the
trade.
Owing to the methods of manufac-
ture, it is almost impossible to make
sure that each string will be cylin-
drical and of the same size through
out it length, and yet if it is larger
In some places than in others, OF
otherwise irregular, it will be
false; that is, the tones it yields
will be slightly higher or lower in
certain places than they should be
to produce the required intervals.
The result of using these false
strings is that the player finds it
almost impossible to produce perfect
fifths or other intervals, and that the
harmonies are not true.
The product of every string factory
is carefully graded. The false and
low-grade strings are culled out and
sold at low prices, while the better
ones are quoted at higher rates. The
strings too, if intended to be of high
quality, are carefully gagged as to
their thickness, to see that they are
of regular size throughout.

players prefer a large string, while
others like one a little smaller.
Violin + strings usually come in four

Cheap strings are usually those
that have been .culled out and are

Even then they do not trust a violin
+ string for instance TO do service
through more than one concert, and
they invariably put on new string
for each occasion, and test it before

not be false or break on them during
performance. Amateurs suffer
greatly in comparison to profession
ais because they not only usually
