MANUFACTURER'S NOTES
These strings are a completely new range which are designed to have a reduced and virtually equal tension on each
string. They are made on Round cores with unique core-to-wrap ratios, so the gauges which match up with some of our
standard sets are not the same at all!
There are several advantages of using these strings. Vintage guitars, light braced guitars and people who have problems
fretting due to arthritis or tendonitis can use these strings without worrying about twisting or uneven pulling on the
bridge. Low tensions also mean ease of fretting.
Gordon Giltrap has given us his first impressions of the strings:
"Anyone who has spent time playing the acoustic guitar will testify to the fact that string gauge and action can make
all the difference in the world to how an instrument can respond. I have spent most of my playing life trying to get
my guitars to play as easy as possible, and have spent many hours experimenting with different string gauges and coming
to the conclusion that it really is a play off between tonality and playability, but at long last here is string that
gives the player the best of both worlds."
