The tragedy!

Vermilion was also used historically to dye the lower strings of lutes, and not just for cosmetics. Since Vermilion is based on mercury, it's heavy, so dying the strings increased their density, meaning the strings would vibrate at a lower frequency. Compared to making the strings thicker (making them again heavier and vibrating at lower pitches), the thinner but denser Vermilion dyed strings have a clearer sound for the low notes.

@@SoulTouchMusic93 Modern guitar strings are wrapped in copper wire for the base strings, as are piano strings. In the middle ages, however, they just didn't have proper machinery for making large quantities of fine wire. Can you imagine beating out 10s of meters of thin wire using only a hammer? Jewelers would do this, but they could sell their jewelry for a tidy sum. Another thing to consider is that they used gut to make strings out of, since nylon had not yet been invented. Gut strings only last a couple weeks, so all that work making wire and wrapping it would have to be repeated over and over. As far as metal strings, as opposed to strings wrapped with metal wire, these started existing in harpsichords by the time the Baroque period happened. This is well after the end of the middle ages. Also, for some reason, lutes and guitars never ended up with metal strings until much later. I guess they didn't like the sound back then. Another possibility is that steel strings weren't practical on instruments where your sweaty fingers touch the strings until the invention of stainless steel - the strings would rust!

I’ve always thought mercury was nifty because of it being a liquid at room temp. I’ve got a very small amount of it I salvaged from an old temperature dial someone was throwing away. It’s definitely in my top 4 favorite metals although I’m not sure it’s exact position. (Tungsten, silver, and platinum are the other 3. I’ve got one of those tiny tungsten cubes but I’d love a bigger one, but sadly they are very expensive. I haven’t got any platinum due to its price, but have gathered a small amount of silver in the form of some jewelry I got second hand and a pair of pilot wings I got from a pawn shop (those are really cool, while I’m tempted to melt down the others and make a small ingot, the wings I love in its current form)

It's a very shiny golden color. It's solid at room temperature, but hold it in your hand and it starts melting after about 10 seconds. Gorgeous element! Mercury - Yeah I love Mercury.
