I think the problem is to do with the acid in your sweat. Some people
have more acid than others and tend to go through strings quicker. I
have played for years, ever day, with no string breaks. I use Spirocore
on one fiddle and Dominants on another. One thing I always do is wipe
down the strings after every use to get rid of the acid, so I'm not sure
if I don't get a problem because of less acid or because I wipe the
strings. My teacher does not clean his strings and he goes through them
quite quickly.
