I'm sure that it is related to the tension of the copper wire.

Arledge says "no twist"  I think that is because he twists the core wire =
before winding.  He uses a motor on each end of the core wire that can =
be programmed to do whatever.  A servo controlled tension feeds the =
copper wire. =20

I've had strings made by Neps that took three full turns to shape up.  I =
was ready to get the double wounds remade so I had nothing to lose.  =
Worked great.  Dale says it takes a few days for them to shuffle the =
molecules around so they may improve by themselves.  Who knows?

The annealing of the copper may also affect it.

  Why is it that some bass strings need to be twisted to achieve their =
full tonal potential and some don't?
