Abstract
A musical instrument string includes a core wire, preferably round in cross section, and is bent a short distance from one end thereof to form a loop. The end segment of the core wire is twisted together with a second segment of the core wire that is adjacent the loop to form a looped end on the musical instrument string and a twisted segment adjacent the looped end. A wrap wire wound tightly around the twisted segment of the core wire reinforce the string against breakage at the twisted segment. The length of the wrapped section of the core wire is small fraction of the overall length of the core wire and musical instrument string so that when the string is installed on the instrument the wrapped portion does not extend beyond the bridge.
