New strings may break after installation. If this happens be sure to take note of where
the string broke. This can be caused by a variety of reasons:
o A violin can develop a rough spot at the peg, the nut, or the fine tuner if the
winding of the string is too close to the wall of the pegbox.
o It may be under too much tension and stress, causing it to snap.
If you are suffering from either slipping or tight pegs please see above for details of how
to remedy the problem.
Remember that after you have put them on, strings will slowly deteriorate. Usually, within
six months they start to lose much of their tone quality and begin to sound dull and dead.
This occurs even if the violin is not being played. Even unused strings. In their packages
lose their quality after a while.
Often, trying different strings can make a significant contribution to improving the sound
of your Instrument.
Your violin is a fragile instrument and requires service on a regular basis. We recommend that
you visit a skilled repair shop at least twice a year to have your instrument checked. An
inexpensive, early repair can save you the expense of a major repair or overhaul.
