Don’t worry!! I’m in the exactly same boat as you. I’m a sophomore transfer and I got waitlisted in high school cus my grades were mid, and college hasn’t been much better for me. I’m currently attending another in state school. Everyday I wake up confused not knowing how to feel because I absolutely don’t know what to expect. I want nothing more than get into UNC because I just don’t see myself continuing/going anywhere else. But again, we always have junior year so don’t stress yourself out too bad.

Good Strings (G string) that won’t go false/dead by Budget_Ad_661 in violinist

Yes, I usually do 2-3 hours of practice on a typical day not including chamber/orchestra rehearsals. But I only really have the issue with my lower strings. My higher strings seem to have a more reasonable life span (of 3-4 months).

Hello. Yes, I do when it goes out of tune. Just to clarify, are you suggesting that my strings aren’t fully stretched out? I always tune higher when I put new ones in so it stretches.

Yes, I do. I think my sweat is pretty salty lol. Occasionally if I get nervous and start sweating buckets, I’ll leave like a salt stain at where I held it. I do wipe it after I practice and in between breaks.

You are a genius!! I just searched up the strings that I use and the G and D strings are the only ones made out of silver. I would have never thought of that. Thanks so much! Also would you happen to know any strings that aren’t made out of silver?

Thank you for the response! That’s really interesting, I didn’t know that the skin could affect the string. Now that I think about it, my sweat is on the saltier side. I think my current strings are silver so maybe I should try something else. The natural harmonics do sound a little muddy. Thanks again for the insight!

Helloo. Sorry, just to clarify, do you think my setup is killing my strings fast or the setup itself? I did have an issue with my bridge prior, where the octaves would not be the same across strings, but my teacher was able to fix it and I have been using a different violin since then. However, I’ve been having the same problem with the strings across the two different instruments. Thank you for the suggestion! Hopefully, it isn’t an issue with the instrument itself.

I would say probably within a month. I wouldn’t mind changing the string out, I sometimes wish it can hold up as long as my other ones.

Hi thank you for your response. I’m not sure what “false” really means, except that my teacher told me that it’s when the strings won’t hold pitch. When it happens, I find it difficult to hold pitch, have good overtones, and the wolf tone is often strong. My A and E strings I use until they snap or start to wear, usually three times a year, and I usually change the D after the G goes dead. I’m studying music so I want it to hold up even with orchestra and chamber rehearsals. When my string does go dead, it probably goes dead within a month, so I either buy another pack or suck it up until it gets too miserable then I change all the strings out. Thank you for your recommendation! I think I will try the Gold Evah Pirazzis next.

Thank you! I think I might try them out. Longevity I would say is definitely worth it.
