Ok, so I've searched and read about gut strings over the last 48 hours, and I have found a wealth of *sound* information, but not what I'm looking for. (BTW, to the people who take the time to make youtube videos with several different strings - you are awesome, mahalo)
Here is what I'm looking for: How can I best not speed them to an untimely death?
I read no fingernails, ok that makes excellent sense. Anything else like that?
Most importantly: dryness! I read that they can go dull in humidity. Well I have a dramatic reverse of that. It is DRY where I live. 10,000 in elevation, and no matter how much snow is around, the atmosphere around her is just *so* dry. Will this make them more brittle?
I would like to have them long enough to really get a feel for their action and their sound, so I really don't want to ruin them early from my own ignorance.
Mahalo! - m.
