Putting the majority of those sets into an air-tight container would also ensure that they stay in perfect shape.</FONT>Thu, 21 Feb 2008 02:36:45 GMTDulcimeristhttp://www.daddario.com/Discuss/Topic34650-10-1.aspxHi! New member here.:)</P><P>Lately I've been buying up 5-packs and 10-packs of D'Addario EXL120s. Not only am I getting excellent deals by buying the strings from the U.S. (compared to prices here in Australia), the multi string packs at the moment have great bonuses like the Chordmaster and the S.O.S. mini tuner.</P><P>At last count I had 32 sets of 120s and 5 sets of 125s. The strings come in corrosion resistant sealed packs although I'm guessing that some slight rusting still occurs.</P><P>Am I being realistic to expect the strings to be like new when unwrapped in 3 or 4 years time?</P><P>Slightly off-topic: The 120s and 125s are close in gauge (9 to 42 vs 9 to 46). Would anyone recommend a truss rod adjustment when changing between the two sets?Mon, 18 Feb 2008 11:49:58 GMTBrucemac
