Tips on minimising string breakage

• All parts in direct contact with the string have to be well rounded, with no sharp edges on pegs, top nut or the bridge.
• Coat all parts where contact is made with a soft pencil lead to allow the string to slide.
• Don’t ‘cross over’ the string on the peg shaft.
• On violin loop E strings use a loop end protector
• Ensure any string adjusters are the correct size. If too small they can cut the string.
• Gut strings are ‘living’ strings. Lower the tension when not playing or on tour. The gut will recreate and be fresh again when bought up to pitch.
• Use oil on gut strings to avoid drying out and breaking due to increased tension.
