Good violin or viola strings are expensive and playing on new strings and tuning them all the time is irritating.

Thank you Zlata for this very useful advice. I bought a $2100 student violin from a reputable store in Nashville, TN. two months ago and I have certainly put many miles on it since. I had been searching on the internet as to how often to change my strings and how to keep them in good condition and then you post this video, perfect timing....lol.

Thanks,
Roy Wainscott
