How does my string change with different winding materials?
By using different winding materials, the diameter, bow response, bow noise, left-hand feeling/sliding feel, sound, volume and corrosion resistance can be adjusted.
Here is an overview of the different winding materials and their effects:
| WINDING | DIAMETER | BOW RESPONSE | BOW NOISE | SLIDING FEEL | SOUND | VOLUME | CORROSION RESISTANCE | BRILLIANCE | FLATTENING EFFECT |
| ALUMINUM | greater | better | stronger | average | more brilliant | average | lower | higher | lower |
| SILVER | smaller | average | average | increased | average | lower | average | average | average |
| CHROMIUM STEEL | average | inferior | lower | reduced | darker | louder | higher | lower | higher |
