Hi folks,

I just took 3 of the fine tuners off my violin and replaced my steel D'Addario Helicore strings with a set of Fiddlerman Synthetic stings. So far they sound pretty good, but I'm wondering how long a new set of strings takes to break in and hold a somewhat steady tune. Of course I still tune every day before I play, but I'd like to play for at least an hour or two before I have to retune.

This is my first re-string, and I'm new to the world of violins, so I thought I would ask here what is a typical break in period for new strings. I know on guitars it can take a few days of playing and stretching before the strings are stable, but wasn't sure about violins.

Thanks!
