Our standard valve string for many years. Tough and durable, low stretch and high flex. Use 80lb for most horns, trombones, and tubas, 50lb for horns with small string holes.
This is best cord for rotary valves we've come across. We use it on all professional horns. The braided synthetic fibre is naturally lubricated so the string slides easily across itself and the valve components with almost no friction or wear. It is very strong, has virtually no stretch and virtually no "memory" so it does not retain curves. On a properly adjusted instrument it will produce a noticeable increase in valve speed. This 200lb test cord is about 2/3 the diameter of our 80lb dacron cord.
