PVF


Hi Friends
I have found that what works really nicely for me is PVF for the second course, and regular nylon for the first course. . . . because the second course always seems the weakest string, this PVF on the 2nd tends to balance out the set.

does anyone know where you can buy a whole coil of 0.024 PVF?

AND.... does PVF basically last forever, meaning - you know the oud's wound strings only sound good when freshly made (they definitely have an expiry date). . . but I would guess the PVF being a non-biodegradable material probably would last forever and sound good for years after sitting on the shelf.

Therefore why not buy a whole coil at once?

THANKS!

yeah, I was wondering about that!!? Why not just order a roll of it from a fishing store. . . . or is the musical string variety processes in a special way??
