restringing
Replacing worn strings
Restringing is putting new strings on something that has strings—a guitar, a tennis racket, a violin.
The term implies replacement rather than first-time stringing: The racket needs restringing after all those matches.
Musicians restring instruments when strings wear out or break; athletes restring rackets when tension degrades.
