All strings except the E-string are winded.The outmost winding is made with a flattened wire to achieve a smooth surface.
The difference between the three grades Soft, Medium and Orchestra, is the tension of the string on the instrument (lowest tension has Soft).
To separate the different strings, a colour code is used on the strings.
Colour at the ballend. Colour at the peg end.
VIOLIN VIOLA CELLO TONE
Soft BLUE BLUE BLUE E=VIOLET
Medium GREEN YELLOW GREEN A=VIOLET
Orchestra RED RED RED D=GREEN
G=RED
C=BLUE
Be careful about the following when you handle the strings.
-Do not over pitch.
-Be careful about the groove in the saddle, so the string easily can glide. Otherwise the tension between the saddle and the screw can be so high that the string can brake.
