Violin Strings Tutorial - Review of Synthetic, Steel and Gut Strings

There are a wide variety of strings that you can choose for the violin. It is important to not be overwhelmed with this process especially as a beginner. Even the most advanced violinists are not always sure of what violin strings fit them best. It takes time to develop an ear and feel for different violin strings.

The strings that you like are going to be totally different than the strings that another violinist likes. One particular set of strings might sound amazing on Violin A but not so great on Violin B. A violinist needs to evaluate his needs, and decide on which set of strings fits his needs best. Here is a guide into what you should consider when choosing violin strings.

1. Ability Level -- Steel Core Strings are popular choices for beginners. Synthetic and gut strings are more for the advanced classical violinist looking for more response and depth.

2. Style of Music -- Classical Violinists are going to lean more towards Synthetic and gut violin strings, while Steel Core Strings are preferred amongst fiddle players and other styles.

3. Type of Instrument -- New violins that have a lot of brightness to them, typically go well with gut strings, or strings that have some mellow characteristics to them. Older violins that have a lot of warmth go well with synthetic strings.

4. String Responsiveness -- Different strings will respond differently to different styles of playing and bows. Violinists should consider how clean transitions are from string to string, and how much projection and warmth the strings compliment the instrument.

5. Budget -- The more advanced you are at the violin, the more you will realize how strings effect your sound. A beginner violinist needs to take into consideration price when choosing violin strings. Many cheaper brands can do a good job for now, while more expensive strings are a waste of money for the beginner. For an intermediate to advanced player, investing in expensive strings can produce much better sound which can be worth the money.
