hurrah, a very good point made at last. Strings do go off, and at different rates. Typically depending on the amount of playing. A pro will change strings around every 6 months, and get the bow rehaired annually - some will do it more frequently, depending on the strings. E.g. Evah Pirazzi strings will go off and sound really really dull after 3 months (for me anyway) - and they're pretty much the most expensive. They do, however, sound ace when new.
