New strings
Well, I've been messing about on flute for a little over a year now and neglecting my fiddle except for flurries of practice before sessions, and I haven't gotten around to restringing it in quite a while. But my hand was forced when the D and E blew out, so tonight I put on a new set of Tonicas (with the Evah Pirazzi gold-plated E I had them add to the order so I'd break into the free shipping range). Whoa! I'd forgotten what an excellent means of instant gratification a string change can be. As a teacher told me, you don't realize how bad your old strings have gotten until you put the new ones on. And that E is very mellow, well worth the three or four bucks....

Re: New strings
Absolutely! But did you ever notice, how GOOD old strings can sound, UNTIL you change them?JS wrote:...Whoa! I'd forgotten what an excellent means of instant gratification a string change can be.

That's good news about the gold E-I like that idea, and have wondered about them, but never did try one. Thanks for that suggestion!
