Gut strings for violin, plain and wound

VIOLIN

“… Why does this (violin) have a sharp tone; that one quite a wooden tone; this one a smokey, screaming tone; that one a sad and numbing tone?...It is the result of differences in craftsmanship.”

Leopold Mozart: A Treatise on the Fundamental Principles of Violin Playing, Augsburg 1756

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
