D VIOLONE

“... it is a horse's work to relentlessly manage this monster for a 3 to 4 hours stretch of time …”

Johann Matteson: Das neu eröffnete Orchester, Hamburg 1713

We do our very best to lighten this workload with our Violone strings.

Since the string length (vibrating length of the string measured from nut to bridge) of individual instruments differs, the string thicknesses should be chosen according to the string length.

We produce special pure gut C-, G- and D-strings.

By combining the traditional rope production methods with string making techniques, we were able to create a significantly thickened string.

Our string is very flexible, produces an audibly clearer sound and reacts more quickly to the bow compared to a string that has been thickened less.

Our wound strings guarantee a new playing experience.

Winding:

-copper silver-plated, dark, warm sound

-copper, bright clear sound

Recommendation for playing at a frequency of A=415Hz:

Vibrating String Length	86-90cm	91-94cm	98-99cm
D1	1.46/1.48 mm	1.40/1.42 mm	1.30/1.32 mm
A2	1.92/1.94 mm	1.82/1.84 mm	1.72/1.74mm
E3	2.50/2.55 mm	2.40/2.45 mm	2.30/2.35 mm
C4	3.20/3.25 mm	3.00/3.05 mm	2.80/2.85 mm
G5	4.20/4.25 mm	4.00/4.05 mm	3.75/3.80 mm
D6	5.55/5.60 mm	5.35/5.40 mm	5.00/5.05 mm
G5 wound	large	medium	medium
D6 wound	large	large	medium

Equal Tension (equal tension on every empty string) is also playable with our strings, we will be happy to advise you.

For the fifths between the strings to be pure, the mass in the string must be evenly distributed. Gut is a natural product that can change through playing. With the Schürch bridge, you can reliably and easily check your string for fifths purity and correct it with fine sandpaper if necessary.Until the introduction of machine sanding, it was a matter of course for musicians to rework the string themselves. The awareness of the need for this has disappeared to this day.Re-sharpening the strings with the Schürch-Bridge is simple and uncomplicated and prolongs the playability of your string.Instruction
