    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.

    0:39 this moment hurt my heart soooo bad! How could you do this to a poor little violin! 😥
    It’s been 9 years that I’m playing and I love my violin too much to cut the cords haha
    Nice video, you are really talented, I would like to play like you one day ^^
    Happy New Year!
