TENOR VIOL

"... The emotions contained in the words are copied to the best ability ... joy, anger, and such-like strong feelings …"

Christoph Bernhard: Von der Singekunst oder -manier, 17.Jh.

We strive to create historical strings that enable you to produce a broad range of emotional nuance with your instrument.

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- and G-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	48-50cm	51-53cm	54-57cm

SCHÜRCH-BRIDGE

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
