Might be okay if they were covered or protected or wound with something, but there they are (mostly when on some solid body), completely exposed—bare, shiny and smooth—being pushed and pulled back and forth, humming and vibrating along, getting jammed in nuts, stretched obscenely, bending backwards over hard, metallic ridges.

Oh yah, sometimes someone will come along and spray or rub or wipe some lube on it so it's all nice and slick and slippery, but right after they're being touched everywhere again by exploring, prodding, squeezing, yanking, sliding fingers.

Sometimes they'll snap and leave their ends just hanging loose and useless; sometimes they'll stretch out and lose all their tone or simply sag and droop and be all out of tune.

It's really a pretty sad life ;)

Broke a G string once. On a crowded fairground. That turned some heads.
