Too Long delivery

Too Long delivery, but the strings are supergood

Thank you for all of it

Thank you for everything

Much easier on my arthritic hands and fingers.

Great tone and easy on my OLD fingers with the thinly wound G String!
I splurge and restring my Taylor’s 😊 monthly, so I can’t comment on their longevity!
Also very proud to support an amazing merchant like D’Addario!

I've used this gauge on one of my acoustics for quite some time and like the tone and the ability to cut through a wall of sound in acoustic jams.

Great strings for guitars requiring less tension, such as old parlor guitars. Always consistent quality and excellent sound!

Extra clear Sound very nice

I moved to 10s from 11s as playing much more acoustic music now and found my wrist was aching.
Nothing lots of other folk musicians use lighter strings I tried the 10s and was impressed that the tone didn’t suffer and it was easier to fret. I didn’t notice and tuning issues with capos and no wrist pain. Haven’t been on long enough yet to see how long they last or whether I need to consider moving to coated. But so far so good and impressed with them!

Excellent, reliable strings. Excellent price/quality ratio.

Great price on product and shipping. Was packed well and received quickly. Would purchase from this vendor again. AAA+++

The Original String

Pioneered in 1974 and still revered today, Phosphor Bronze has become synonymous with warm, well-balanced acoustic tone. D'Addario Phosphor Bronze strings are precision wound with corrosion-resistant phosphor bronze onto a carefully drawn, hexagonally shaped, high carbon steel core. The result is long-lasting, bright sounding tone with excellent intonation.

"The EJ16 Phosphor Bronze were the stock strings on my resonator guitar. They bring out the warmth of my tone and sound so clear at the same time. So, I decided I'd just stick with them!"

Phosphor Bronze 13-56

"I use Phosphor Bronze Med EJ17 strings on my acoustic guitar. Years ago a musician friend recommend them to me because I squeeze heavy when I'm playing and I've been using them ever since. I just love the quality and feel of the medium strings. I also like to leave my strings on for a long time and these strings last."
