Why isn’t my string responding so well anymore?

During the string’s ageing process, the overtones change. Firstly, the intensity changes and secondly, the temporal position to other overtones changes (inharmonicity). This leads to the string no longer responding as quickly. This is a normal sign of wear and the natural ageing process of a string.
