Ive used D'Addario for many years then I heard about String Joy a company in Nashville Tennessee. I tried and set and immediately removed them and put the D'Addario back on.
The D'Addario are favorite of all.
Even Paul Franklin agreed..

These pedal steel strings have great tone and well balanced,..... long lasting and stay in tune better than I've used. These are the best strings I found for my instruments.

these string always sound great, and the gauges are just right for my steel.

They stay in tune and sound great. The ok only thing I would change is the color code for some of the strings.
