Product Description

Elixir Strings revolutionized guitar strings by finding a way to extend the life of wound strings without compromising the tone. Polyweb coated strings have a balanced tone and smooth response - they sound like strings that have been "played in". Nanoweb coated strings sound and feel like uncoated strings - they are bright and lively, and the coating is so micro thin that you can barely tell it's there.

I am learning to play the mandolin and a friend lent me his. The strings were old metal strings that were old. They were killing my fingers and I have callouses from playing guitar!! I was also getting really frustrated because my playing sounded absolutely horrible! Well, I finally figured out to get these Elixir strings (I use them for my guitar) and WOW what a difference! I am actually encouraged by the way my playing sounds, and these strings no longer hurt my fingers!!

These strings sound so bright and clear that I don't why I ever used another string. I can't afford a great mandolin but these strings make it sound much, much better than before. Also, I find that they last much longer than D'Addario strings in the same gauge.

Elixir strings are by far my favorite on most instruments, and this is no exception. The strings were fresh, arrived on time, and at a great price. I will be purchasing more as I need them!
