Description

  

      Violin E string. The violin is covered with four strings E, A, D and G, whereby the fourth string, G, i.e. the string with the lowest note, is always a gut string wound with a metal wire. Later, strings A and D were also spun with metal thread. The first Saute, E,

      which is intended for the highest note, has so far been used as a non-wound string.



  The unspun gut E-string has the disadvantage that it is easily out of tune while playing and is always in danger of breaking. It was therefore often replaced by the bare steel E-string, which is almost exclusively in use today.

   But this string also has disadvantages. For example, it must be very thin, among other things, which makes it difficult for the player to feel it under the finger.

   Furthermore, its tone is very sharp and hard, so that it does not fit well with the Daxm reference, which is almost exclusively used for Iden fine players. Although on the one hand, the violin strings G, D and also in some cases the A string are used spun with wire,

       and although the above-described disadvantages of the unwoven E-string made of gut or steel were largely known, one has' so far not been able to eliminate these parts after.



       The violin E string which is the subject of the present invention does not have the aforementioned defects. According to the invention, the violin E-string consists of a core with a metal wire evidence.

    The invention "broke" with the general view that it was not possible to spinning the violin E string in a durable manner. It has been found that spinning the E string has both disadvantages , the careless gut-E-,

  String as well as the hl.anken @ steel-E @ string can be eliminated. The E-string spun according to the invention adapts itself excellently to the other strings with a gut insert. It's easy to play and doesn't get out of tune as easily as a careless gut E-string. The inventive

     According to the spun E-string can be felt much better under the finger than the bare, steel E-string. Experiments have shown that she speaks easily even in the highest registers.

         and see where bare gut and steel E = strings often fail; it also sounds far better, rounder and fuller, so that it can also be used by more spoiled players.

   The spun violin E string combines all the good properties of the bare steel E string with those of the bare gut E string without having the disadvantages of both.

       Steel is preferably used as the core for the E-string spun according to the invention. Steel also includes alloyed steels containing the addition of chromium, nickel, manganese or the like, individually or together. But you can also use other cores, e.g.

   B. intestines, textile fibers, plastics or the like. Use. Metal thread, in particular light metal thread such as aluminum, magnesium, beryllium or the like, including alloys, is advantageous for the winding. Ee eats appropriately and uses the finest material for wrapping.

       Instead of a fade, a band made of metal, e.g. B. light metal, are taken for the order winding. The winding can take place directly on the insert.

   However, an intermediate layer can also be provided, such as, for example, a thin fiber layer of silk or the like.
