Re: [Hornlist] Braided Polypropylene valve string?
Personally, I have never broken a string. (knock on wood) I replace my strings annually. My son had a Reynolds that broke lots of string until I smoothed the edges of the holes.

Re: [Hornlist] Braided Polypropylene valve string?
Luke, I have a question about this line...Is this like what is sold as "Firewire" or material that is similiar?

If it is used for fishing, a serious tackle shop with sell it by the yard. I've always preferred Dacron to nylon. Recently, the last year or so, I've been using spectrum, 65# test, available at serious tackle shops. The size of 65# spectrum is about that of 15# Dacron or nylon. I found when I knotted it, the knot would easily pull through the hole. I now tie the knot in a double strand, and it stays put. I string the valve with the double strand. The two strands don't wear evenly, so if one strand breaks, the other operates just fine. Because the strand to break first is a little tighter, it's easy to feel the failure and replace the string when you next get a chance. ___ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] set your options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org

[Hornlist] Braided Polypropylene valve string?
I'm looking around for a replacement spool and instead of getting nylon I would like to upgrade to braided polypropylene. However I cannot find any of this by the spool. Does anyone know where I could find a whole spool (preferably 100+ yards) of this stuff? I know the nylon is easy to find, and comes in around a dollar to five dollars per spool. I've heard good things about switching to polypropylene so I'd like to try that out. I know plenty of places that sell this by the meter, but I'd rather buy an entire spool of the stuff. Buying it by the meter (some places charge 1+ dollars PER METER) in the quantity I need would be way too expensive, so that's why I'm looking for the spool. -William ___ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] set your options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
