摘要:
The invention relates to bowed musical instrument string (1) for a violin, viola, double bass or cello. The string has a first, load bearing core (10) and a winding strand (100) wound around the first core in helical windings. A damping agent (40) suitable for vibration damping is arranged in a profiled recess (150) in the winding strand. The recess is functioning as a reservoir between the first core and the winding strand. The reservoir is containing and/or retaining the damping agent so as to, at least, reduce dissipation of the damping agent through a gap between the adjacent helical windings of the winding strand. The invention results in a longer lifetime with optimum acoustic properties of the string.

Novel musical instrument strings and methods for making the same. Polymer cover combined with a low temperature resin is provided to the strings. Also disclosed are novel plastic materials comprising a film of porous fluoropolymer having UV-cured resin applied to at least a portion of the porosity of the film.

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.
