What are violin strings made of?

1, violin strings have sleeve strings and metal strings.

2. Casing string: surrounded by metal wires, it vibrates strongly, and it is easy to produce overtones, and the string body is soft. Between the casing and the wire, there is still a layer of silk, so this string sounds round, plump and beautiful. The quality of casing string mainly depends on the quality of casing. It should be made of sheep intestines, and the color should be transparent, thin and uniform, so as not to hurt tendons. When using casing strings, it is necessary to check the tone frequently. Elasticity will gradually disappear after long use, so strings should be replaced frequently and should not be stored.

3. Metal strings can be divided into bare strings and wound strings. E-string is made of bare string and stainless steel wire. The other three strings are wound with string, and the A string is formed by winding a layer of thin silver wire, nickel wire or aluminum wire outside the steel wire. D string is wrapped with fine copper wire first, then with fine silver wire or nickel wire (there are also two layers of aluminum wire wrapped outside the steel wire). G-string is made by winding two layers of thin steel wire on the steel wire first, and then winding thin silver wire or nickel wire outside (there are also two layers of aluminum wire outside the steel wire). G-string is made by winding two layers of fine copper wire on steel wire, and then winding fine silver wire or nickel wire outside.
