1. A method for manufacturing a musical instrument string, comprising:
positioning an elongate wrap wire in a position to be wound about an elongate core wire having an outer surface, the core wire including a core and a coating surrounding the core; then
performing the winding of the wrap wire about the core wire under winding conditions to cause the wrap wire to form a helical impression in the coating surrounding the core of the core wire, the wrap wire being seated in the helical impression, and
selecting the material of the coating to enable the coating to flow and form the helical impression and move upward into spaces between adjacent windings of the wrap wire.
