This is a single length gut core string with a sterling silver wire winding and a thin silk layer wound onto the core between the gut and wire. Because the wire is round, the surface of the wire is polished so that the string feels smooth. The tone is warm and full. The end of the string that goes into the tailpiece is knotted and there is a loop of gut on the end. This knot will hold the string in most historical tailpieces, but may slip through a modern tailpiece.
