22 The String Experts GHS - String Technology The sound and feel of a string is determined by many factors including material selection, winding technique and core-to-cover ratio. The following will explain basic string design features and the sound and feel they produce. How does Winding Technique affect How do String Materials affect Tone Tone? and Feel? There are four types of winding techniques used for strings. The The hardness of common materials used in the cover wire of type providing the brightest tone (all else being equal) is the strings affects both the tone and “feel” of a string. Usually, with roundwound string. It is made with round cover wire wrapped all else remaining constant, the harder the material the brighter around the core. Burnished strings are considered roundwound. the string. This explains why stainless steel produces a very bright sound and nickel, a softer material, produces a warmer Next brightest is the rollerwound string. The round cover wire sound. However, a hard material can be abrasive to both fingers is crushed to a semi-flat configuration as it is wound around and frets. At GHS, our magnetically active filament grade Alloy the core. Our Pressurewounds are an example of a rollerwound 52™ - used in Progressives and other strings - is softer and less string. abrasive than stainless steel but produces a tone almost as bright. Common cover wire materials include (ranked by order Next, and “mid-bright,” is the groundwound type of string. of brightness): stainless steel, Alloy 52™, nickel plated steel, pure This string starts as a roundwound; then it is ground by a nickel, and for acoustics: brass and bronze.
