DR Strings Rare - Phosphor Bronze AcousticHex Core 13-56

DR Strings Rare - Phosphor Bronze AcousticHex Core 13-56 Review



DR Strings Rare - Phosphor Bronze AcousticHex Core 13-56 Feature

  • 13-56
The RARE?  phosphor bronze acoustic strings are a departure from the standard bronze string currently available... possessing a new, different, and stronger "voice". When DR set out to produce a string with new characteristics, the goal was to redesign contemporary thinking about what phosphor bronze can do for a good acoustic guitar. Hand-carved arch-tops and dreadnaughts and good steel string acoustic guitars of rosewood, maple, and mahogany seem to benefit from a distinct improvement in tone, depth, and sustain with RARE?  phosphor strings. Players who want a fatter, louder sound, a deeper bottom... (who like to hear their guitars ring out..) will appreciate the RARE?  phosphor tone, sound, and feel. Gauges: .013; .017; .026; .034; .045; .056

Dr Thomastik 137 Viola D Stg-Dom Alum Wd Review



Dr Thomastik 137 Viola D Stg-Dom Alum Wd Feature

  • D string
  • Medium gauge
  • 15-16 1/2 size
  • Made by Thomastik
  • Be prepared with an extra set
These strings have a highly flexible, multi-strand nylon core and cater for artists who feel uncomfortable with steel strings. The resounding success of our Dominant string owes a lot to its similarity in tone and response to gut strings, without gut's inherent drawbacks.The sound of the Dominant string is full and mellow, yet rich in overtones. Its radiance, its ability to project sound without being metallic, comes to the fore both in arco and pizzicato. Other advantages are Dominant's effortless response to intricate fingering and its tuning stability even under extreme atmospheric conditions. But Dominant's beauty of tone is not as long lasting as that of a steel string, a price the discerning musician will be prepared to pay for this quality of sound. Dominant strings should be changed at appropriate intervals to ensure continuity of tone color.
