There was a mention , I think, of the melody string, esp high d. sticking on the bridge. Violinists can have the same trouble, so here is a tip from my father. Rub your finger in the pit behind your ear and transfer the oil to the string where it crosses the bridge. Michael Muskett _____

My lower g melody string was a D2097. I didn't care for that one, though I do like all the others. So, following the Hackman's sage advice for my little Bassot, I put on a Savarez Corelli Crystal Viola G wound on stabilon, instead, a very nice mellow sound I'm much happier with and which I got at juststrings.com for $9 + shipping. I've not had any trouble so far with anything breaking, either the Kischners on the Boudet, the Savarez on the Bassot, or the Corellis on both.
