What is the difference between a high twist and a low twist string?
A very important one: a high twist string is much more elastic and that means an increased reactivity: the string will respond more easily both to plucking and to to bowing and produce a wider dynamic excursion and timbric variety. On the other hand a low twist string, being stiffer, is less reactive but more resistant under stress and thus suitable for all trebles in general.
