Ever wonder exactly how a musical instrument string is made? What's the
difference between steel core, synthetic core, and gut? Why do your strings
go false, and how often should you REALLY change them? Answers to these
questions and many more provided by D'Addario's Orchestral String Product
Management team, will help you become a more educated string purchaser,
player, and teacher.

As the largest musical instrument string manufacturer in the world with
over 100 years of stringmaking experience in America, D’Addario & Co. has
created a presentation that attempts to demystify the strings on our
instruments. By detailing the steps and components of what makes a string
work, we hope that everyone will gain more understanding of what suits
their instrument, playing style, and level. We’ll discuss everything that
goes into making and playing
on a string, including materials, maintenance, longevity, rosin, and
everything in between.

This is also an informative session for all educators, not just string
players! The clinic will demonstrate the following topics, followed by a
Q&A session:
• History of string-making
• Anatomy of a string – What’s inside and outside, and why does it matter?
• Tension and gauge – what does it all mean?
• How to care for your strings – maintenance, how to properly change them
and maintain
longevity.
