Greetings,
On wire wound strings in the tenor, could an unraveling at its top,
or a sloppy winding cause a strange
voicing of the string? It just makes this "weird" sounding note. It caused
a buzz, which I remedied by cutting the obviously loose couple winds at the
top, however, the weird sound remains.
We're talking a cheap off brand console, (possibly sloppily wound
in a child labor sweat shop...sore kid's hands or something??) where the top
1" or so of winding left something to be desired.
Would the remedy be to replace the string? If so, will the note's
sound match the others in quality? I told the owner that I can't guarantee
that this "orphan" sounding note would match the others with the replacement of
the string. Also its a tenor bichord. Is it a good idea to replace both
strings?,The other one doesn't sound that bad, but if I mix a new one and an old
one maybe it'll sound worse? Suggestions?
Thanks,
Julia Gottshall
