Orchestral Strings: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the benefit of a Yamaha Silent String instrument?
For musicians in urban centers like Dubai or Riyadh, Yamaha Silent Violins and Cellos allow you to practice at any hour without disturbing neighbors. On stage, they can be plugged directly into a PA system, eliminating the feedback issues common with microphones on acoustic instruments.
How do I choose the correct size for a student?
Orchestral strings come in fractional sizes (1/4, 1/2, 3/4, etc.). At gigstore, our experts in Abu Dhabi and Dubai can help measure the player’s arm length to ensure they have an instrument that supports proper posture and prevents strain.
Are carbon fiber bows better for the UAE climate?
Yes. While Pernambuco is traditional, carbon fiber bows are increasingly popular in the GCC because they do not warp in high humidity or heat, providing a consistent "bounce" and response regardless of the environment.
How often should I change my strings?
To maintain a vibrant tone, we recommend changing your strings every 6 to 12 months. We stock a full range of Pirastro, Thomastik-Infeld, and D'Addario strings at gigstore to keep your instrument sounding its best in 2026.
