摘要： An improved musical instrument string is provided The string includes a polymer cover that protects the string, from contamination while maintaining the original "lively" sound of the musical string. By supplying the cover over a conventional string and preferable over a conventional wound string, the string is protected against contamination while also making the string easier to play. The preferred cover comprises at least one layer of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) that is most preferably sealed with a polymer coating. In particularly preferred embodiments, a cover is applied over a portion of the length of the string having a relatively reduced variable mass. The result is that the string has relatively uniform mass along its entire length thereby assuring correct intonation.

摘要翻译： 提供了一种改进的乐器弦。弦包括聚合物盖，其保护弦，免受污染，同时保持音乐弦的原始“活泼”的声音。 通过将传统的绳子提供给传统的绳子并且优于传统的缠绕绳，该绳子被保护免受污染，同时也使得绳子更容易播放。 优选的覆盖物包括至少一层膨胀聚四氟乙烯（ePTFE），其最优选用聚合物涂层密封。 在特别优选的实施例中，将覆盖物施加在具有相对减小的可变质量的弦的长度的一部分上。 结果是弦在其整个长度上具有相对均匀的质量，从而确保正确的语调。
