In the drawings, Figures 1 and 2 represent my improved strings for musical instruments.
The string is made of wire, which is flattened and coiled, the flattened portions being in a line parallel with the axis of the coil, this being accomplished by drawing or pressing the wire to the required shape. The flattened wire may be coiled upon a mandrel or core, or by other suitable means, and when the core from a simple piece of coiled wire, circular or in cross'section.
I claim- A A string for musical instruments, composed of a coiled wire or metallic strip flattened in a direction parallel with the axis of the coil, in the manner and for the object specified.
