A tremendous leap forward in coating technology allows the strings to be completely protected from contaminants for lasting tone and maximum life.
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.
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 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.
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.

Let that iconic D'Addario tone ring out. With XS, harmonic overtones remain full and bright after many hours of playing.
Spend less time tuning and more time playing. Torture tests prove that fusion twist plain steels stay in tune better than standard strings.
"Several years ago, I posed a simple question to our team of engineers and
product designers: Can D'Addario create the world's greatest coated string, bar none?
I am proud to say our team rose to every one of these incredible challenges (and a host of others) and we're launching the new XS coated string."
