New strings should be twisted; old strings should be renewed. Twisting a string that has gone dull either simply masks the dullness and introduces all sorts of odd noises or else kills the string dead. Of my monochords, A0 and A#0 have been replaced and sound fairly nice (but A#0 is a little better), B0 and C1 are ok but have a slight false beat, with C1 being a little tubby, C#1 is probably my best sounding old d/c monochord string, D1 is nice, D#1 is ok but has a little bit of the "odd noises", E1 is also ok but not up to par, F1 is somewhat tubby, and F#1 is similar to E1.
