    As a violinist who loves her violin very much, him cutting the string was physically painful. I’m glad my violin was hiding in it’s case so it didn’t have to see the horrifying moment.

      I regretfully had to replace one of my violin strings with a guitar string since I was dirt poor when learning the violin (middle school).... at that time I played pretty well, although soon I had to change back to normal violin strings since I had to constantly tune my instrument too often then needed (tuning onstage).

    I make my own custom fiddles and I’m still looking for the perfect affordable set of strings for them. I’ve found that Cretan lyra strings are perfect, as they’re similar to violin strings but really sturdy and slightly longer, so I can use my preferred 20” scale length. But after I cleaned out Amazon they are difficult to find and cost 3x as much. I previously tried cello strings but I would use only the two high strings plus an E from a 5-string set. This string alone is upwards of $20 and cello strings come with their own issues. I could just build shorter instruments and use cheap generic viola strings but I feel best about the longer scale length.
    I’ll have to check out the flatwound guitar strings now after seeing a violinist actually use them on a violin.

However, I can't buy a new set of string since it is lockdown and it woud take time to order online.... So I replace the violin string with a guitar string.... since I only own a guitar... It was not noticeable since she's a beginner in violin and she barely touch it... but my conscience is eating me😂😂😂 I know someday I'll replace it with the real one...

    Flatwound Strings were invented in 1874 (which was after the Roundwounds from 1659 that allowed the lowest strings to be made thinner & easier to play) by Hamilton & were originally designed to replace the Gut Strings on bowed instruments cause 1) they last many times as long, & 2) the flat surface makes bowing the string easier.
