ABSTRACT:
An improved vibratory string is provided for use in musical instruments such as pianos, guitars, violins and the like. The string is formed from one or more wires of a selected alloy material, such as Ni--Ti alloy, having desired superelastic properties at ambient room temperature. Such a vibratory string tensioned or strained to its superelastic state has improved harmonic and tonal stability characteristics.
