Features

• Ultra Thin Coating
• A tremendous leap forward in coating technology allows the strings to be completely protected from contaminants for lasting tone and maximum life.
• Hex Core Construction
• Precision drawn hexagonal core was pioneered by D'Addario. This innovation allows the wrap wire to grip the core for superior dimensional stability, enhanced durability, and precise intonation.
• Fusion Twist Feature
• The fusion twist feature prevents slack in the twist from detuning the string. This ensures maximum tuning stability and higher break strength for our premium plain steel strings.
• NY Steel
• NY Steel is processed in D'Addario's exclusive wire facility in Farmingdale, New York. Through advanced machinery and processes, our premium high carbon steel delivers unmatched tuning stability and superior break resistance.
• Wire Drawing
• D'Addario's in-house wire drawing machines produce musical instrument wire to our exact specifications. Control over materials, equipment, and quality allows us to deliver high performance products.
