---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment I think it has to do with the string tension causing the windings being too tight to end up at a correct expansion after stretching to sing & not sound dull. I once had to twist all the tri-chords On an S&S D 3 times to get em to sing. first once wait a week then twice wait a week then bingo They sounded fine but I did not have the oppurtunity to follow up on it. Dale That's an interesting observation and well worth researching among string makers, i.e. how much twist of the wire gets ahead of the wrap during the high-speed wrapping process, then how much slackens out of the wire after the spinning stops. Also, how much twist (or torsional force) remains in the core held by the wrap itself (or in mis-making of the string, is the torsional force over-applied leaving the core wire close to an elastic limit).
