Comparison of Mechanical Properties of Natural Gut and Synthetic Polymer Harp Strings

The long-term mechanical behaviour of a number of fluorocarbon and gut harp strings has been examined, and the results compared with a previous study of rectified nylon strings. The stretching behaviour of the three materials was studied via different measures of the Young’s modulus; with...
