A wire (1) to be used as a string of a musical instrument, in which a core wire comprising long filaments such as carbon fibers (2) high in tensile strength, exceedingly fine metallic wires, or a combination of said components is thickly covered with a precious metal such as gold, silver, platinum, palladium, and copper, other metals (5) excellent in ductility, alloy of these metals, synthetic resin, or ceramics in order that: sound quality and attenuation factor may be controlled as well as a reference frequency may be selected by enabling change of density per unit volume; tensile strength of the string and density in conformity with the kind of a musical instrument on which the string is stretched and the size of the string may be selected by enabling the adjustment of tensile strength of the string; maintenance of sound quality of the string to be used for low-pitch sound may be possible for a long term; a wear-resistance measure may easily be taken by partial hardening of the string; and a value of the string as a property may be increased and feeling of beauty in color may be created by the use of a precious metal. |
