However, the present disclosure does not contain dampers because guitar strings are never dampened with dampers and are therefore not suitable for bowed instruments

Embodiment Construction

[0111] figure 1 is a view of the longitudinal cross-section of Chord 1 . In the figure, the core 10 is at the center of the string 1 , wherein the first winding strand 100 is helically wound around the outer surface 11 of the core 10 . The second winding strand 200 is wound around the first winding strand 100 . Only the first winding strand is schematically seen to have any damping agent (not shown here, see attached figure 2 ) of the contoured recesses 150 (in this view facing the zigzag pattern of the core 10 from above and below).

[0112] figure 2is an exploded view of the longitudinal cross-section of Chord 1. The exploded view of the string 1 shows a part of the core 10 with the outer surface 11 . The first winding strand 100 is wound helically around the core 10 so as to have a second winding 110 of the same first winding strand 100 adjacent to itself. Between two adjacent windings 100 and 110 a gap 102 is formed. In the space 50, between the core 10 and the fi...

Abstract

The invention relates to a string (1) for a stringed, bowed musical instrument, for example a bowed musical instrument like violin, viola 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.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a string for a bowed musical instrument such as a violin, viola or cello. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method for producing the above-mentioned string and a stringed musical instrument mounted with the string as described in the present invention. Background technique [0002] Strings for bowed instruments typically consist of a load-bearing core with several layers of winding, which increase the thickness and mass of the string. The coiled layers can be metal filaments (flat or round), or polymer filaments (monofilament or multifilament). In the case of monofilament windings, this most often has a circular cross-section, or in some cases a rectangular cross-section. [0003] Between winding layers, string manufacturers have the option of applying damping agents. Damping agents have an effect on the sound characteristics of a string and allow string manufacturers to create a unique sound profile fo...
