Infeld The Infeld Violin system affords the player a list of advantages: suitable for old and new instruments. relatively insensitive to excess humidity. strings settle in quickly, stabilising early on in the string's life for concert use. low overall tension on the instrument produces an open, transparent sound. very responsive to different playing techniques, lending itself to various interpretative approaches. large and full sound, making the string sets suitable for soloists and chamber music players. good purity of open fifths, even when strings are older. excellent response in all positions. the set emphasises the innate tonal characteristics of each violin, making instrument adjustment easier. The central problem is that some violins react very sensitively to various thicknesses of E string. Our recommendation when changing strings is to start with the E string. The E string provided with the set represents a good choice for the majority of instruments. (Incidentally, the E string's ball end can be removed by finger pressure, so that the string can be used with a ball end or loop end as required). Now the G string should be changed, then the D string and finally the A string. Technical Characteristics: There are two kinds of E strings. The gold-plated E strings are manufactured using a special process, which considerably improves their performance and sound in relation to conventional gold-plating methods. The 'silver' E strings are galvanized, which allows their sound characteristics to come to the fore unimpaired. The rest of the strings have a composite core, which fulfills all the functional characteristics expected of a great string. The first winding of the string consists of a alloy which actually occurs in Nature, which is why it is designated as 'Natural Alloy'. Already centuries ago this type of alloy was regarded as having special properties. The G string is wound in pure silver, assuring optimum density. The A and D strings are wound with an alloy called hydronalium, which makes for good bow contact and excellent balance between bowing noise and resultant string sound.
