Abstract
In the case of a string of a musical instrument (1) with at least one composite core (2), wherein the at least one composite core (2) comprises a first core element (3) and a second core element (4), to achieve high volumes with little expenditure of force to excite the string as well as a rapid and precise response to quick changes of excitation, in particular quick bow changes, to achieve a natural sound and to extend a musician's artistic range, it is proposed that the first core element (3) and the second core element (4) comprise at least one organic material, and that the first core element (3) and the second core element (4) are joined at least in certain regions by means of a first polymer element (11) lying therebetween.
Claims31
A string of a musical instrument, comprising:
- at least one composite core having a first core element and a second core element, each of the first and second core elements including at least one organic material;
- and
- a first polymer element joining the first and second core elements at least in regions thereof, said first polymer element being disposed between the first and second core elements and/or enveloping the first and second core elements, wherein the first polymer element is substantially free of tension, when the string is tensioned at a predefined pitch level.
